I recently was setting up a Hitachi Device Manager and Tuning Manager cluster on Windows 2008. During the configuration phase I ran into the follow error when trying to setup the HiRDB database onto the shared cluster disk.
HOSTNAME c:\Program Files (x86)\HiCommand\Base\bin\hcmdsdbclustersetup /createcluster /databasepath D:\database /exportpath E:\empty2 /auto
HOSTNAME c:\Program Files (x86)\HiCommand\Base\bin\hcmdsdbclustersetup /createcluster /databasepath D:\database /exportpath E:\empty2 /auto
KAPM06577-E An attempt to acquire a value has failed.
This error has to do with C:\Program Files (x86)\HiComand\Base\conf\cluster.conf
file. The hcmdsdbclustersetup command references this file which you
create before you run the cluster setup command. Specifically it looks
for the mode line which can either be online or standby. However if
that line is not there, has a typo or the file is missing completely, the
cluster setup command will fail.
In my case I had a typo in the file. Once I corrected the typo the command completed successfully.
