Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O5000 for Oracle8i and Windows 2000 Administrator Guide
Secure Path Manager Shows Reversed Locations
for Top and Bottom Array Controllers
The Secure Path Manager GUI detects and displays the two HSG80 Array
Controllers in each MA8000/EMA12000 Storage Subsystem according to their
serial numbers, not their slot assignments. Regardless of their actual slot
locations in the controller enclosure, the array controller with the lower serial
number is detected first and always displayed as Controller A; the array
controller with the higher serial number is always displayed as Controller B.
If Secure Path Manager shows a controller failure, be sure you match the
displayed failed controller with the correct physical controller. You can
display an array controller
s serial number by issuing the CLI
show this_controller
command.
Secure Path Manager Cannot Start With Hosts That
Use Hyphenated Host Names
Secure Path Manager (SPM) is unable to start with hosts that use hyphenated
host names (for example.
my-host
). Any hyphen indicates a cluster profile
member to Secure Path Manager, and DNS will not be able to resolve the
name correctly. Hyphenated host file names must be changed to unhyphenated
names on all client systems.
To correct host names, add the name of the host without the hyphen to the
Host file. Add this name to the client.ini file with the Agent configuration
program, and use this name to log in with Secure Path Manager.
Secure Path Manager Is Delayed In Reporting Path
Failure Information
Due to extended error checking features present in the Secure Path software,
there may be some delay with Secure Path Manager in reporting failed path
information.
By default, the
Secure Path Manager
screen is refreshed every 60 seconds.
To perform a manual refresh, press the
F5
key.
