[cisco-voip] CUCM 6.1.1 replication - pub state is 3-bad

On 2 of the servers no, but it does work on a 3rd one that was failing.
The end is:
08-19-2010 14:30:11 validate_network:     test script exists
08-19-2010 14:30:11 validate_network:     run network script via expect
[./diag_validate_network.exp > /dev/null]
08-19-2010 14:33:11 validate_network:     result: 256, message: Unknown
network error

The test reads passed after a reinstall.

All members of the cluster are up, and I was using the Unified reporting
application to verify the host files and it showed all of them.  But a
reinstall is changing the state from 4 to 3, and fixing the problem
where newly created phones do not register to a subscriber.  Maybe once
I reinstall the last one and there are no more 4's the state will change
to 2.

I'm not 100% sure for 6.1.1 but in later versions state 3 simply means
that one of the servers in the cluster is down.  It is entirely possible
that replication is working for all other servers in the cluster.

You'd need to look at the CDR connections to find out which one is down
and this you can get via CURT or with root access.  

Does 'file view activelog platform/log/diag2.log' not give you anything?

Thanks for the reply,

Host files are equivalent.

On the pub and the sub I reinstalled validate_network shows passed, but
on servers I have not reinstalled I get:
admin:utils diagnose module validate_network

Log file: /var/log/active/platform/log/diag2.log

Starting diagnostic test(s)
===========================
test - validate_network    : Unknown network error

Diagnostics Completed 

Not sure how to view the log. Files view activelog responds no file was
found

I've reinstalled 2 more servers and they pass validate_network and
phones register, but replication is still a 3.  I want to upgrade the
cluster, even if it's just to 6.1.5, but I'm reluctant to do so with
replication bad.


I'll keep at it.

Thanks again,
