Regarding the alphaserver: check the value of expectedvotes in sysgen. In a cluster with non-voting satellites only, its value must be less than Votes+1 Hans ------Origineel bericht------ Van: Mark Wickens Afzender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Aan: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Beantwoorden: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Onderwerp: [HECnet] More clustering fun Verzonden: 16 september 2011 10:14 I've now refreshed the VAX satellites system drive and installed it in the ALPHA server. The one problem I have remaining is that the VOTES the satellite is contributing to the cluster is 1. I believe for a proper satellite this should be 0. Is this a case of updating the MODPARAMS.DAT on the satellite and autogen and reboot? Do I need to do anything with the ALPHA servers configuration? Presumably I will need to reboot the ALPHA server as well. Thanks for the help, Kind regards, Mark.
