4195.0. "Pathworks Cluster Alias, to be or not to be!" by KERNEL::CHEWTER () Thu Mar 06 1997 12:10

    Help!
    
    I have a customer who previously was using V5.0D eco2 this fixed
    Pathworks Cluster Alias connection problem which they were
    experiencing.  They then upgraded to V5.0E (to fix other problems)
    since then the Pathworks Cluster Alias problem has re-occurred, in the
    respect that they can see it but not connect to it.
    
    The Clients involved are Windows 95 using Netbeui. The server and
    license server are configured for Decnet, TCP/IP and Netbeui. 
    
    Customer did downgrade (back to V5.0D eco2) and Pathworks Cluster Alias
    problem disappeared..... 
    
    I have the output from:                        
    
            nbshow NB, KNB, NBSTATUS, KNBSTATUS, and DL
    
    both before and after the upgrade.
    
    The one noticeable difference with the files is that the Cluster Alias
    is not registered as a unique name (x20) after the upgrade to V5.0E on
    any transport, will this make a difference? is this the problem staring
    at us?
    
    Also one of the nodes in the cluster is not listed at all in the
    session status column, could this node be carrying the Cluster Alias?
    
    Please be gentle....
    
    I feel this is a very strange problem, as it was previously working!

    The cluster alias in v50d was displayed as a unique name,
    but actually its a group name. So it was changed that
    the display now shows the correct output.
    
    This can't effect the fact that you cannot connect.
    
    What I would like to see is an IRIS trace where you trace
    the connection. Watch out because this is all multicast stuff
    you need to enable the correct addresses.
    Trace everything to/from the client AND
    everything to/from the Multicast address that belongs to your
    transport.
