clstat problem

It is a long time since I have used HACMP so I suppose I could be classed as a newbie! The cluster pair is running and I am trying to get the passive node to give me sensible information from the commmand above. However all I can get back is:

Can not get cluster information.
Check if clinfo is running.

I have stopped and started everything and cldump works fine after clstrmgrES was restarted. The clstart and clstop have been run numerous times but clinfo will not run correctly. It runs correctly on the active node!

I would appreciate any suggestions on where to look for the problem.

The problem is with the communication between the cluster nodes. You did not say which HACMP release you use. Depending on it check SNMP and/or clcomd.

Check script clstart:
to start the cluster with clinfo running on all the cluster nodes use -i

cl_rc.cluster -boot -i

HACMP is version 5.4

Start with checking clcomdES. The log files are clcomd.log and clcomddiag.log. The default location for both logs is /var/hacmp/clcomd/.
