5285.0. "increasing PEA0 errors of ZFDDi-clustered AXP" by MANM01::NOELGESMUNDO () Wed Apr 16 1997 08:05

    Hi!
    
    This is a continuation of entry 5282 of some sort. The AS8400 (V6.2)
    and AS4100 (V6.2-1h3) have been clustered thru the FDDI. But having no
    common disk to act as quorum (AS8400 is connected to a star coupler
    with HSJ40 while AS4100 has local disks through the KZPSC controllers),
    I have set the votes for AS8400=2 and AS4100=1 with expected votes=2.
    
    The disks are all sharable on both systems and so far has not
    encountered any cluster-related problem except for a minor item that I
    noticed today. The errors on PEA0 is increasing very rapidly and
    checking the error logfile thru ANA/ERR, I found 'INVALID CLUSTER
    PASSWORD' for PEA0 from node SMART1 and SMART2.
    
    The 2 Alphas are clustered thru FDDI but are also available in the LAN
    where there is another cluster composed of 2 VAXes. The AS8400 is node
    SMART while the AS4100 is SMART3. The VAXes have SMART1 and SMART2 as
    nodenames. I just found out that the 2 clusters have the same cluster
    group number=1. The error is causing a depletion of the disk space in
    the system disk.
    
    Any ideas?
    
    Thanks!

Each cluster should have a different cluster id and cluster password. 
Check the cluster id by using the SYSMAN.

5285.2rebooted VAX cluster with diff group id-okay nowMANM01::NOELGESMUNDOFri Apr 18 1997 01:286
    Joe,
    
    Thanks. We rebooted the VAX cluster after changing the group id and no
    more errors were added to the PEA0 device.
