Node manager disconnection - more details

Question

Hi,
thank you for the replies. Following more details about our actual
configuration.
The servers are Solaris based and the clients are both Solaris and NT based.
What happens exactly is:
1) the central env shuts down. Sometime we have to force the shutdown
manually when the overall applications gets stuck.
2) the client node managers remain active.
3) we restart the central env without restarting the client node managers.
4) we manually restart the node managers on the application servers.
5) we manually restart the server partition (where applicable).
6) the client node managers (on both Solaris and NT clients) don't manage to
reconnect to the central env and the client application (which uses the
launch service to start the applications) fails.
The problem is that we can easly stop and restart the client node manager
on the Solaris workstations (with rsh command), but we have poblems doing
the same with NT workstations. Of course we would like to avoid having to
restart the client node managers.
We strongly suspect there is something wrong in our
configuration/procedures ...
P.S.
In our clients, we use only one entry for FORTE_NS_ADDRESS (eg.
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=poitdr:5018)

Hi Massimiliano,
On which OS are you running ?
This case isn't normal at all. I tested it on NT Client and AIX server and it
worked well.
But you may have only a refresh problem on EConsole. Did you try to close and
re-open EConsole ?

We have experienced that when shutting down the central environment, the
client node manager which remained active didn't reconnect to the central
env when restarted.
Is this normal or is there any special solution/procedure to solve this case ?
(we have many remote locations to administer).

Hi,
After what I've observed, the case is sometimes it will reconnect and
sometimes it won't depending on the loading of the environment manager.
Moreover, even if it reconnect, it would take a while ( a long while ).
Regards,
Peter Sham.
