<div><p>Certain cluster conditions are easily corrected. If a cluster partition
|
||
|
|
has occurred, you can learn how to recover. This topic also tells you how
|
||
|
|
to avoid a cluster partition and gives you an example of how to merge partitions
|
||
|
|
back together.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A cluster partition occurs in a cluster whenever contact is lost between
|
||
|
|
one or more nodes in the cluster and a failure of the lost nodes cannot be
|
||
|
|
confirmed. This is not to be confused with a partition in a logical partition
|
||
|
|
(LPAR) environment.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you receive error message CPFBB20 in either the history log (QHST) or
|
||
|
|
the QCSTCTL joblog, a cluster partition has occurred and you need to know
|
||
|
|
how to recover. The following example shows a cluster partition that involves
|
||
|
|
a cluster made up of four nodes: A, B, C, and D. The example shows a loss
|
||
|
|
of communication between cluster nodes B and C has occurred, which results
|
||
|
|
in the cluster dividing into two cluster partitions. Before the cluster partition
|
||
|
|
occurred, there were four cluster resource groups, which can be of any type,
|
||
|
|
called CRG A, CRG B, CRG C, and CRG D. The example shows the recovery domain
|
||
|
|
of each cluster resource group.</p>

<p>A cluster may partition if the maximum transmission unit (MTU) at any point
|
||
|
|
in the communication path is less than the cluster communications tuneable
|
||
|
|
parameter, message fragment size. MTU for a cluster IP address can be verified
|
||
|
|
using the <span class="cmdname">Work with TCP/IP Network Status (WRKTCPSTS)</span> command
|
||
|
|
on the subject node. The MTU must also be verified at each step along the
|
||
|
|
entire communication path. If the MTU is less than the message fragment size,
|
||
|
|
either raise the MTU of the path or lower the message fragment size. You can
|
||
|
|
use the <span class="apiname">Retrieve Cluster Resource Services Information (QcstRetrieveCRSInfo)</span> API
|
||
|
|
to view the current settings of the tuning parameters and the<span class="apiname"> Change
|
||
|
|
Cluster Resource Services (QcstChgClusterResourceServices)</span> API to
|
||
|
|
change the settings.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Once the cause of the cluster partition condition has been corrected, the
|
||
|
|
cluster will detect the re-established communication link and issue the message
|
||
|
|
CPFBB21 in either the history log (QHST) or the QCSTCTL joblog. This informs
|
||
|
|
the operator that the cluster has recovered from the cluster partition. Be
|
||
|
|
aware that once the cluster partition condition has been corrected, it may
|
||
|
|
be a few minutes before the cluster merges back together.</p>

<span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />In order to determine the types of cluster resource
|

|
group actions that you can take within a cluster partition, you need to know
|
||
|
|
whether the partition is a primary or a secondary cluster partition. When
|

a partition is detected, each partition is designated as a primary or secondary
|

partition for each cluster resource group defined in the cluster.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></li>

Sometimes, a partitioned condition is reported when there really was a node outage. This can occur when cluster resource services loses communications with one or more nodes, but cannot detect if the nodes are still operational. When this condition occurs, a simple mechanism exists for you to indicate that the node has failed.</li>
