HACMP - two nodes - take too long to sync

HI Admin,

I have running 2 node HACMP cluster- AIX 6.1. I just set it up.

It does sync completely without any errors. But it take too long to sync. More than 30 mins... any reasons? Where can I start looking into ?

Same network, same Subnet

Hi snchaudhari2,
Here are a few things you can look at to get started. I reviewed my notes and couldn't find any times in the past where sync was taking a long time on the servers I maintained. Most of our issues were with failover or volume groups.

  • Take a look in /var/adm/cluster.log
  • Any other custom script logs you may have. For example, my HACMP setups had custom script output going to /tmp/hacmp.log
  • Run the clshowsrv -a , clstat or xclstat command to get cluster status and see if it gives any clues.
  • Run cllscf and see if you can see anything wrong
  • smit hacmp or smitty hacmp may also show you where there is a problem.

Are there any other loads on the system that could be slowing it down (large DB, backups running ,etc)?
Good luck.
