Workspace PowerHA for AIX
Created by Guest
Created on Dec 16, 2022

PowerHA log hacmp.log file shows ERROR message for TieBreaker setup at node startup , but it is not really an error.

This error is seen during starting first node.  RSCT command chrsrc configures tiebreaker using Global Scope.
But if the first node is started when the other node is completely down and thus not reachable, Global Scope is not usable.
The error generated is ignored since it is not fatal to the HA operation.

Below are sample messages from hacmp.out file:

:node_up[438] : If this is the first node up, configure split merge handling.
:node_up[440] cl_cfg_sm_rt

:cl_cfg_sm_rt[954] : Configure RSCT in accordance with the specified or defaulted policies

    Not aware of any functionality issues. The error is misleading.

    Is there any functionality issue here or only logging part in hacmp.out?
