Serviceguard - Unable to initialize HOSTNAME ADDRESS FAMILY

Problem

After a reboot or package reconfiguration:

# cmviewcl

Unable to receive reply from local cmclconfd. Connection timed out
Unable to initialize HOSTNAME_ADDRESS_FAMILY

Solution

The nodes are cloned images of previous clusters and contain left-over garbage.

Remove all the pid, lck and socket files belonging to the Serviceguard daemons and cmrunnode except cmsnmpd and cmcd files under /var/adm/cmcluster.

# cd /var/adm/cmcluster
# > .cm_start_time
# rm -f proxies/* cmlockd/*

Do not remove the directories proxies and cmlockd.

# rm -f .cmcd* .cmlock* .cmnetd* cmcd.pid* cmnetd.pid*
# rm -f cmlockd.pid* cmficmcdleassistd.pid* cmproxyd.pid* cmwbemd.pid*
