Configuring active/standby pair - they wont talk

Hi

 

 

I've installed 11.2.1 hf3 on them both, run through the set up wizard, added them as peers to each other, created the same Device group on each. They now report the correct status for each other, but the remote LTM always has a disconnected status. I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm missing or what is not configured, because as far as I can see everything is as it should be.

 

 

The log message that is streaming out every couple of seconds on each LTM is:

 

Jan 30 16:18:19 device2 notice mcpd[5578]: 01071431:5: Attempting to connect to CMI peer 192.168.10.170 port 6699

 

Jan 30 16:18:20 device2 err mcpd[5578]: 0107142f:3: Can't connect to CMI peer 192.168.10.170, port:6699, Transport endpoint is not connected

 

 

I tried Solution 13887 earlier today, but to no joy.

 

I tried the big3d notes from above,

 

[root@device2:Active:Disconnected] config /usr/sbin/big3d -v

 

/usr/sbin/big3d version big3d Version 11.2.1.1042.0 for linux

 

 

[root@device1:Standby:Disconnected] config /usr/sbin/big3d -v

 

/usr/sbin/big3d version big3d Version 11.2.1.1042.0 for linux

 

 

Both have been rebooted, but just wont communicate with each other for config sync.

 

 

Its Network failover that we are using. There is no blue cable that I'm aware of as these are housed in 2 separate datacentres.

 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Anthony
