APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Even when passing in multiple catalog endpoints on the -cep option of the xscmd command, a connection failure can occur if only one of the catalog servers is not available.
Local fix
Pass in only available catalog servers on the -cep arguments.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere eXtreme Scale users with * * multiple catalog servers * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The xscmd command might fail when a * * specified catalog server is not * * available. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The getLocationService method would proceed through the specified catalog service endpoints. There are two passes to find a location service. The first pass occurs for a short period of time, 2 seconds. If a location service is not located quickly, the endpoints are searched again for a longer specified timeout period (the default is 30 seconds). If during the first traversal, the first catalog server is not reachable, then an exception is returned and the remaining catalog servers are not attempted to see if one is available. However, if the first server is not reached in the time period (the network might be slow, since security has increased the time required), the next catalog server is attempted, and so on. If one of these catalog servers is not reachable, then an exception is returned and no other catalog servers are attempted.
Problem conclusion
The command, WXSAdminCatalogConnection:getLocationService, was updated to not fail when a catalog server is not available, if there are other catalog servers who have not responded within the timeout period.
Temporary fix
