Re: Clusdiag utility

To add to that:

The cluster.log file is a "fixed size file" and therefore overwrites itself.
Ensure you take a copy of the cluster.log file immediately when an error
occurs, else you might lose valuable information for troubleshooting.

Alternatively you can set/increase the fixed size of this cluster.log file
using a system wide variable. Or you can set a system wide variable to
ensure a new cluster.log file is created every time the service start.
For more information on all this, please see :

The cluster log is in normal english...it just takes experience to
translate
it properly. Oh, and don't forget that the cluster.log logs events in GMT
time to make it even more confusing.

My advice would be to ignore everything in the cluster logs except WARN
and
ERR events. These are always capitalized so if you search using "match
case"
you should be able to find these events pretty easily. These lines will
typically give you the most information about the reason why the resource
or
clussvc is failing and will typically exit with some sort of error code.
For
example:

WARN [INIT] Failed to join cluster, status 53

If you then use a 'net helpmsg <error code>' command, you will see why
this
INIT process failed.

If you're confused by GUM, INIT, etc messages, you might want to review
the
following document:

Hi,

Is there a way of reading the cluster.log file in "normal" english!? All
this Gum stuff can be really annoying to translate into english (or
whatever
language you use).

Just wondering if there is a tool out there.

Many thanks,
lara400
