Also Compaq support. (Original question at the end)
So far the general consensus is that it shouldn't be happening but that
under certain circumstances it does.
Most suggest shutdown from the console to single user either by shutdown now
or shutdown +1. Then halt the system from single user. This apparently stops
ase from panicking and resetting or rebooting.
I have since tested on another cluster the same set of circumstances and got
the same result. Testing other variations has resulted in the following.
1. User logged on and reading a file on the ase service. User logged in on
the cluster ip address.
2. Idle machine rebooted using a variety of commands;
a: shutdown -h now
b: shutdown -r now
c: shutdown now
d: shutdown +1, halt
e: init 0
f: halt
On each of the above scenarios the active users were kicked off by an ase
reset. This is not what we have been led to understand. Getting kicked off
by a failover, yes, not if the idle machine goes down though. Only option a
& b caused the reboot, the others just caused the reset.
PS. We didn't try init s, halt.
Compaq assure as this is not the way it should be. We have given them as
much information as possible and await their response.
It is difficult to test this situation as the machines are active 18 hours
out of every day. As soon as I know more or can test the resolution I will
deliver the final summary.
