AIX 64
Resolution
The debug log shows that the hostname OS the server is:
The procmgr debug log indicates that no records were retrieved from the iProcess database for the server name abcdef03
fil_pcfg_node_find - Select found no data
This means that no configuration was found for server abcdef03 and the process terminates as there are no processes to start on the server. The resolution is to configure the server name in iProcess so that the iProcess master node runs on server abcdef03. The server abcdef04 is the current active master node -the following actions are required:
1). Stop iProcess on abcdef04.
2). Update iProcess to run the master on abcdef03. swadm move_server 1 abcdef03
3). Start iProcess on abcdef03.
The actions will enable iProcess to start the master node on server abcdef03.
