76 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager in a Clustered Environment
Tests
To test the cluster functionality, we use the Cluster Administrator and we perform
the following tasks:
Move groups from one server to another. Verify that resources failover and
are brought online on the other node.
Move all resources to one node and stop the Cluster service. Verify that all
resources failover and come online on the other node.
Move all resources to one node and shut it down. Verify that all resources
failover and come online on the other node.
Move all resources to one node and remove the public network cable from
that node. Verify that the groups will failover and come online on the other
node.
4.5 Troubleshooting
The cluster log is a very useful troubleshooting tool. It is enabled by default and
its output is printed as a log file in %SystemRoot%Cluster.
DNS plays an important role in the cluster functionality. Many of the problems
can be avoided if we make sure that DNS is well configured. Fail to create
reverse lookup zones has been one of the main reasons for the cluster setup
failure.
