Troubleshooting Novell Cluster Backup

This document covers clustered nss volumes and clustered groupwise on
Linux:

  1. slptool findsrvs smdr.novell
    • Make sure you get the same results on all cluster members
    • Make sure there are no 127.x.x.x entries
    • Make sure all desired resources are registered on the same port (NSS Volumes, GroupWise)
    • Make sure the backup server (datamover) is included
    • Make sure the ports are all the same
  2. host CLUSTER_RESOURCE_HOSTNAME (from slp output)
    • The resulting ip has to match the slptool registration ip
    • Check all resources
  3. /opt/novell/sms/bin/smsconfig -t
    • Check that tsafs is loaded in the following mode:
    • tsafs --EnableGW --cluster
