Cannot add a new node into existing cluster from new node In a cluster already up and running, if an attempt is made to add a new node from the server which is not a existing member, the action will fail and a message will be displayed The cluster service on new node can not be started. The only way to add new node in a cluster is to add it from a node that is already a member of the cluster. Cluster reference fails when using the cluster name to access cluster administrator on the local node When using cluster administrator to administer the local cluster, the use of the cluster name will fail to access the cluster. Use of the "." is an acceptable workaround in the connect field of cluster administrator. Alternatively, one may use any node member's host name to connect to the cluster through cluster administrator. Cluster node eviction occasionally fails When attempting the eviction of a cluster node, intermittent failures can occur in the eviction process and the cluster will report the node evicted. However, the node being evicted will retain its cluster information and reformation of the node into the cluster is blocked. This is especially true when the node being evicted was turned off when the eviction process occurred. In these circumstances, a forced cleanup of the node is required via the following command line procedure prior to the reforming of the cluster: cluster node nodename /forcecleanup On occasion this command will fail also and a registry entry is required for the cluster cleanup. To create a place holder, type the following line at the command line: sc create clussvc 18 HP StorageWorks NAS 4000s and 9000s Release Notes
