1051.0. "None Name Change" by BSS::G_MCINTOSH (Touch Not the Cat, Bot the Glove) Mon Apr 01 1996 20:02

    
    Customer changed the name of his host, and now he cannot startup his
    polycenter scheduler.
    
    Customer tries to startup the agent from the /sbin/init.d directory
    issueing the command
    
            # schedule start
    
            and gets an error.
    
            child process forked, but the deamon does not start.
    
            we went to the server side, did a..
    
            sched>verify server
            sched>normal successful completion   <- and got this back.
    
    If the nodename changes on an agent, what db must be changed to
    reflect this change?

Which version of Scheduler is being run?
1051.2MUZICK::RITCHIEElaine Kokernak Ritchie, 227-3089Mon Apr 01 1996 21:2511
The node name change doesn't affect the agent starting up.  The only
thing that will keep an agent from starting is incorrect network setup.
Your customer needs to be sure that DCE and the Bind server are setup
correctly.

In reference to changing a node name, once the Scheduler is up and
running, you need to modify any jobs which have been told to run on
the old node name, so they will run on the new node name.  This should
be the only change that needs to be done.

Hi Glenn,

	Is it the V3.0 unix agent that will not start?  Does the log file show
	a core dump?

	If so do the following:
	on the agent:
		ls -l *.ckp
		ls -l *.unsent

	if you find any of these files that are zero (0) blocks delete them.
	restart the agent.  If it starts ok on all the servers that use that
	agent you must do a verify server, to get the jobs back insink 
	with the agent.

	if you deleted any files you lost the last run info on a job, or 
	currently run info of any jobs.

	The verify server will fix the jobs, but htey rerun.
