external interface ip showing as LOCAL

[venkatnarayana]

HI all

i have R62 splat installed on dell servers, running on HA mode. now the problem is HA is not working. when i run cphaprob stat on the machine having problem, it shows the external interface ip address as local.

i get the following error

local 192.168.10.5 ------> this is the external interface having public ip

10.10.30.5 --------> this is the internal interface

iam wondering why is the external interface indicating as local. also it says cluster xl is down or cannot communicate.

regards
venkat

If your external interface topology is not set to "Cluster + # Sync" then I would not expect the external address to show up as the "local" address for the cphaprob stat--it should be the Sync IP that you see. [The local part just indicates which cluster member you ran the cphaprob comman on]

Check the topology and set up of the "1st Sync" interface, both in the cluster object and on each network interface of the cluster members. Also check "cphaprob -a if" on each cluster member to make sure they have the same number of interfaces up.
