Welcome there,

i do my simple test with PCS:

Code:

Crystal 0 :

   +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Cr | cpl| cpl type   | hw type   |  cpl  state  |  coupler ID     |
   |----|----|------------|-----------|--------------|-----------------|
   |  0 |  6 | App. Server|---------- |   IN SERVICE |    NO PCMS CODE |
   +-------------------------------------------------------------------+


 > Reference rack number: 1

 > Display list of PCS  :
+------------------------+------------------+-------------------+
|        PCS Name        |     Address      |       State       |
|------------------------|------------------|-------------------|
|             PCS Test0  |   192.168.1.11      |      ACTIVE      |
|------------------------|------------------|-------------------|

Crystal 1 :

   +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Cr | cpl| cpl type   | hw type   |  cpl  state  |  coupler ID     |
   |----|----|------------|-----------|--------------|-----------------|
   |  1 |  0 |          GD|---------- |   IN SERVICE |    NO PCMS CODE |
   |  1 |  2 |      MIX448|---------- |   IN SERVICE |    NO PCMS CODE |
   +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

Netadmin and everything works good, so i copy my db to PCS, restart pcs and try to pcscopy and got all meaningful and superb useful info NOK (PCS 192.168.1.11 Update => End NOK: Copy on PCS failed).
What i do?
i've got 'tail -f' on log files on PCS and do pcscopy. Note that any ALU doc does not mention that, curious why:

Code:

==> secure <==
Jul 19 17:19:22 pcs xinetd[573]: START: shell pid=2776 from=192.168.0.31
==> messages <==
Jul 19 17:19:22 pcs pam_rhosts_auth[2776]: denied to mtcl@192.168.0.31 as swinst: access not allowed
Jul 19 17:19:22 pcs in.rshd[2776]: rsh denied to mtcl@192.168.0.31 as swinst: Permission denied.
Jul 19 17:19:22 pcs in.rshd[2776]: rsh command was 'rcp -t /DHS3dyn/BACKUP/IMMED'
==> auth.log <==
Jul 19 17:19:22 pcs xinetd[573]: START: shell pid=2776 from=192.168.0.31
Jul 19 17:19:22 pcs pam_rhosts_auth[2776]: denied to mtcl@192.168.0.31 as swinst: access not allowed
Jul 19 17:19:22 pcs in.rshd[2776]: rsh denied to mtcl@192.168.0.31 as swinst: Permission denied.
Jul 19 17:19:22 pcs in.rshd[2776]: rsh command was 'rcp -t /DHS3dyn/BACKUP/IMMED'

So i've checked all of rhost knowleage from 50 years ago (just kidding...) and see that /etc/hosts.equiv is ok, but rhosts in home dir of swint's , and well i see only:

Code:

192.168.0.30 +@wild

(my xa00000 host, not the main role)
so i've added (by hand of course):

Code:

192.168.0.31 +@wild

Release on main appliance and pcs is the same: R9.0-h1.301-28-b-pl-c0
btw: i use RS as PCS and x305 (the 'short' one) as appliance.

Have i've done anything wrong? Local main setup by netadmin as allways...

anyway afer adding my cpu main ip PCS works as it's expected (not that i'm happy with full reboot of RS every update of database so every 1:00 am ?).

Hello KrzysioD,

I have a friend with the same problem. Where exactly is this file?

Same passwords on PCS and CS? (swinst, mtcl, adfexc?)

Bogdan,

there is .rhosts and /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.equiv so plain old rsh + rlogin (very INSECURE !!!), no passwd auth.

@MR_PT1: try to see those files and use latest patch, you didn't mention what Release and patch level you try to setup.
