Administration

Hi guys, I need your help.

My confserv stopped abnormally and now when I try o start it is detects that another confserv is primary it it cannot find it. The backup server is also stopped and when I try to start it it detests the first confserv as primary but cannot find it.
so : confserv stopped
confserv_bkp stopped both detect the other server as primary and would not start.

from confserv_bkp log:

12:47:49.896 Std 22102 Server application name is set to [confserv_BCK]
12:47:49.896 Std 22915 Server mode is set to [PRIMARY]
…

12:47:56.381 Std 05063 Normal termination

from confserv log:
12:49:04.243 Std 22102 Server application name is set to [confserv]
12:49:04.244 Std 22915 Server mode is set to [PRIMARY]

Is there a way to set directly from the config database the mode to Backup ( a safe way )?

Thank you!

What Release of confserv do you have?It’s may be a bug of certainly version - I think,that in R8.0 was similiar issue or same issue.

I’m afraid that the only solution is to upgrade confserv to R8.0 - 8.0.300.27 and above. In this version/patch has been fixed same issue.

[i]Release Number 8.0.300.27 [09/22/10] – Hot Fix

In a redundant configuration, the primary and backup Configuration Servers can start simultaneously. Previously, one or both of the two servers in the redundant pair sometimes stopped executing. [/i]
