Replace a Compute Node that has failed with a new machine

Page 99 highlights

Problem: When I try to add a node, I get "Properties file for doesn't exist." Solution: z Make sure that the hostname is fully qualified in /etc/hosts on both the Management Server and the managed node, if it exists in /etc/hosts, and that any shortened host names are aliases instead of primary names. For example: { 10.1.2.3 cluster.abc.com cluster z should be used instead of: { 10.1.2.3 cluster z Make sure that AgentConfig is installed on the managed node, and that mxrmi and mxagent are running. z ps -ef | grep mx should produce something like this: root 23332 1 0 15:42:17 ? 1:08 /opt/mx/lbin/mxagent root 23334 1 0 15:42:17 ? 0:59 /opt/mx/lbin/mxrmi root 24269 24252 1 01:30:51 pts/0 0:00 grep mx z If AgentConfig is installed and running, uninstall it and then reinstall it: % /usr/sbin/swremove AgentConfig z To install AgentConfig, type; % /usr/sbin/swinstall -s :/var/opt/mx/depot11 AgentConfig z where is the hostname of the Management Server. Problem: scmgr prints "out of memory" errors. Solution: z On the Management Server, using SAM or kmtune, make sure that the Kernel Configurable Parameter max_thread_proc is at least 256, and that nkthread is at least 1000.

Problem: When I try to add a node, I get "Properties file for <xyz> doesn't exist."
Solution:
Make sure that the hostname is fully qualified in /etc/hosts on both the
Management Server and the managed node, if it exists in /etc/hosts, and
that any shortened host names are aliases instead of primary names. For
example:
10.1.2.3 cluster.abc.com cluster
should be used instead of:
10.1.2.3 cluster
Make sure that AgentConfig is installed on the managed node, and that
mxrmi and mxagent are running.
ps -ef | grep mx should produce something like this:
root 23332 1 0 15:42:17 ?
1:08 /opt/mx/lbin/mxagent
root 23334 1 0 15:42:17 ? 0:59 /opt/mx/lbin/mxrmi
root 24269 24252 1 01:30:51 pts/0 0:00 grep mx
If AgentConfig is installed and running, uninstall it and then reinstall it:
%
/usr/sbin/swremove AgentConfig
To install AgentConfig, type;
%
/usr/sbin/swinstall -s <CMS>:/var/opt/mx/depot11
AgentConfig
where <CMS> is the hostname of the Management Server.
Problem: scmgr prints "out of memory" errors.
Solution:
On the Management Server, using SAM or kmtune, make sure that the
Kernel Configurable Parameter max_thread_proc is at least 256, and that
nkthread is at least 1000.
