CLUSTER using wrong machine name

Hi All, we have a W2k (SP2) Advanced Server cluster. The cluster name is CLSTRJDE, but our enterprise server machine name is OW-VSRV.

Our problem is like this... when we submit jobs to OW-VSRV they submit and process, but they "disappear" from the Job Master. Looking at the table in UTB, the records have EXEHOST = 'CLSTRJDE', not 'OW-VSRV'.

I can create a 'fake' Logical Datasource for machine name 'CLSTRJDE' in order to view these records but this is a workaround and very misleading to users.

We have in the enterprise server JDE.INI

[CLUSTER]
PrimaryNode=OW-VSRV

It seems that JDE is not picking this up. I saw something on the knowledge garden about GetHostName() returning the wrong value. Do we have the right ini config here, or does anyone know how to fix this problem??

Cheers,
Steve Murphy
 
Steve :

Please, give us some detail on your specifications.
OneWorld Release, SP, database, etc.

In cluster administrator go to the properties for the JDE Network resource. Near the end, on Generic Service Parameters page check the checkbox that says "Use Network Name for Computer Name". This must be done for JDE Network and Queue resources.

BTW, please tell JDE that this is an issue, I have been trying to convice them of this for a year now.
 
BTW, are you aware of this:


Special Instructions for the SAR 5122082 (First included in Update 3)

Customers who wish to take advantage of
cluster retry capability for individual
data sources will need this software update
and SP16.
.
To turn on cluster retry capabilities,
you must check the box labeled 'Clustered'
in the Data Source Revisions application
(P986115) for those logical data sources
that are clustered.
 
Yep, "Use Network name for Computer Name" is checked for both Network and Queue services.

Q: Must the Network Name be a dependency of the Network service ??
 
With regards to the "Clustered" setting against the data sources... I have looked at the following data sources:

System - B7333:
for datasource OW-VSRV ("Clustered" NOT checked)
for datasource OW-VSRV - Logic ("Clustered" IS checked)

OW-VSRV - Server Map:
for datasource OW-VSRV ("Clustered" NOT checked)
there is no datasource OW-VSRV - Logic.

So which is the important one here - The data source in the System - B7333, or in the Server Map ? And is it the one named "OW-VSRV" or "OW-VSRV - Logic" (or both) that should have "Cluster" ticked.

Thanks for help so far.
 
In reference to the settings- I dunno which is important, I have never tested it. Let me know what you find.

As far as dependancies, check your private messages.
 
Steve,

I believe I have had exactly this problem.

The problem with this is that the cluster name (group) and the server
name specified in your installation plan must be one and the same.

You cannot have: Node1=ABC1, Node2=ABC2 (as Ent servers) and a separate
name for the cluster group (Cluster).

The best reference for this is NOT the NT install guide, which does
mention this, but this "other" document <attached> that I found trawling
the KG.

I hope this helps,

Steve,

Apologies, I don't think I can attach (;o)

On the KG, Search for "Compaq" and "Cluster" and check Product.

You want this Word document:
win2000_sql_cluster_cruikshank_march2002.doc

Good luck,

Steve:
I am running OW Xe on Cluster using Win2K Advance Server.
The configuration of OneWorld we are using is this:
1. Name of the Enterprise Server must be equal to the Virtual Name of the Cluster.
2. Name of the Database Server must be equal to the Virtual Name of the SQL Server.

When we first install the Cluster following JDE Instruction of that time (October 2001) they didn't mention anything about that.

If you search now on KG, you will find a very good article on how to setup the Cluster under Win2K and the OW Configuration.

Unfortunately, the only way we found to solve that situation, was to redo the installation of OneWorld.

I hope you can make it without havin to reinstall.

Good luck.
