216.0. "No error returned from sysman" by BACHUS::WILLEMS (Johan Willems @BRO DTN 856-8739) Wed Feb 19 1997 04:44

Hallo,
    
    I have a problem with sysman command execution. When a command is
    executed on a remote node, and it generates an error, the error is not
    returned from some nodes
    
The cluster has 2 system disks. 
DVAX for nodes NOHVX2, NOHVX5 and NOHVX6.
DMVX for nodes NOHMV2, NOHMV5, NOHMV7, NOHMV8 and NOHVS0.
All running VMS V5.5-2H4.

    Installed patches are :

    SYSLOA$01_U2055.TXT;1                   VAXBACK01_U2055.TXT;1

    VAXSYSL12_U2055.TXT;1                   
    
    
    I created a small procedure that contains only one line "$ exit 2",
    to get an error back.
    
    This is the output when I execute this in the cluster
    
    VX2>mc sysman
    SYSMAN> set env/cluster
    %SYSMAN-I-ENV, current command environment:
            Clusterwide on local cluster
            Username DECNOH       will be used on nonlocal nodes
    
    SYSMAN> do @Y
    %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node NOHVX2
    %NONAME-E-NOMSG, Message number 00000002
    %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node NOHMV2
    %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node NOHVX5
    %NONAME-E-NOMSG, Message number 00000002
    %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node NOHVX6
    %NONAME-E-NOMSG, Message number 00000002
    %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node NOHMV7
    %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node NOHMV8
    %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node NOHVS0
    %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node NOHMV5
    SYSMAN>exit
    $
    
    As you can see, the error message is only returned from NOHVX2, NOHVX5,
    NOHVX6.
    
    When i try this on an other node, it works for the local node and
    NOHVX5 and NOHVX6.
    
    I checked the mailboxes used for sys$output and sys$error and they are
    the same.
    
    Anything else I can check or does somebody have an explenaqtion for
    this???
    
    
    Kind regards,
    
    Johan
