Hello,

I try to config an arbiter, server1 and server2.
When I config all three services on the same system (win vista)
everything works fine.
But when I try to config the server2 service on an other system (win
2k3 server) than the arbiter didn´t find the server2.

Here are my configs:

Server1 (IP: 192.1.99.37):

-n server1
C:\SynchroTest\Server1\WC00_10_1.DB
-x TCPIP{PORT=2641}
-su sql
-xf C:\SynchroTest\Arbiter\server1state.ini
-o C:\SynchroTest\Arbiter\server1.out
-xp partner={ENG=server2;LINKS=tcpip
{HOST=192.1.99.115;PORT=2639;TIMEOUT=1}};arbiter={ ENG=srvar;LINKS=tcpip
{PORT=2640;TIMEOUT=1}};AUTH=bebob;MODE=sync
-sn bp_test

Arbiter (IP: 192.1.99.37):

-n srvar
-x TCPIP{PORT=2640}
-su sql
-xa AUTH=bebob;DBN=WC00_10_1
-xf C:\SynchroTest\arbiter\arbiterstate.txt
-o C:\SynchroTest\arbiter\arbiter.out

Server2 (IP: 192.1.99.115):

-n server2
C:\SynchroTest\Server2\WC00_10_1.DB
-x TCPIP{HOST=192.1.99.115;PORT=2639}
-su sql
-xf C:\SynchroTest\Arbiter\server2state.ini
-o C:\SynchroTest\Arbiter\server2.out
-xp partner={ENG=server1;LINKS=TCPIP
{HOST=192.1.99.37;PORT=2641;TIMEOUT=1}};arbiter={E NG=srvar;LINKS=TCPIP
{HOST=192.1.99.37;PORT=2640;TIMEOUT=1}};AUTH=bebob ;MODE=sync
-sn bp_test

Any ideas or tips?

Kind regards,

Benjamin

Your -xp switch on server1 is missing the host parameter for the arbiter.

Thanks, but server1 and the arbiter are on the same system so I think
that is not the problem.
I´ve tried with the host paramter for server1 but nothing changed.
Server2 is still waiting for a connection to the arbiter or server1.
FYI: The arbiter didn´t change the primary server to server2 when I
stop server1 (because the arbiter didn´t see server2).

Any ideas?

Hello again,

even when I start only the arbiter (192.1.99.37 Port 2640) and the
server2 (192.1.99.115 Port 2639) I get no connection.
The state files are empty!

The use of
-x TCPIP{HOST=192.1.99.115;PORT=2639}
for the server2 command line seems unusual; HOST= should not be needed here.

I'd suggest adding -z to the command line for each server and examining the resulting console log file to see if that reports
anything useful. Also, double-check that the actual IP address for the server2 machine is correct and matches what is specified
on the server1 command line.

Another thing to try would be to start a non-mirrored server using a specific port on each of the two machines and verify that
you can make a normal database connection between machines using dbping or dbisql.

Well... my windows vista firewall has blocked the server2 connection.
Thanks a lot!!!
