Repairing a cluster node
You can use the repair feature on a node that is in BLOCKING state.
When you repair a node, all cluster connections are reset for the node, and the node rejoins the cluster and resynchronizes its metadata with the cluster. If the node contains metadata changes that are incompatible with the rest of the cluster, it is removed from the cluster when it tries to reconnect.
If the node being repaired is the timekeeper, it loses its timekeeper role to another operational node in the cluster. The new timekeeper keeps its role as timekeeper even after the old timekeeper node is repaired.
Follow the procedure given below to repair a cluster node:
- On the BMC Atrium DIL server node that is in BLOCKING state, navigate to BSMDASHBOARDS_HOME\DIL\CIS\apps\dil and run DILCluster.bat (Microsoft Windows) or DILCluster.sh (UNIX or Linux).
In the BMC Atrium DIL Configuration Utility, type option 5 (Repair this cluster node) and press Enter.
The output that you receive is similar to the following example:Using configuration from C:\BMCSoftware\BMCDashboardsForBSM\DIL
OS = Windows Server 2008
Executing "C:\BMCSofware\BMCDashboardsForBSM\DIL\CIS\bin
\cluster_util.bat" -server localhost -port 9400 -user dil_admin -password
<BLOCKED_PASSWORD> -domain composite -repair -debug:
Cluster connections have been reset
