Where did the status "Wait for Master" come from?

rtech · Post by **rtech** » Wed Dec 24, 2008 11:20 am

I'm running a script to check the active cluster for a SQL 2005 cluster as described in the last two posts of http://www.ks-soft.net/cgi-bin/phpBB/vi ... ht=cluster.

This morning I received an alert with the status: "Wait for Master".

Does this mean it was waiting on the "Master test", a ping test? Or does it mean that it was waiting on the "Master" server of the cluster?

I just want to verify. Also, if it is because of the master test, is there a way to surpress?

Thanks!

Why do you use this forum? Where is the bug???
"Wait for Master" means test was not executed due to status of the master test(s).

Also, if it is because of the master test, is there a way to surpress?

Sorry, do not understand the question. Could you please explain using "Installation and configuration" forum?

Regards
Alex

"Wait for Master" status appears when test cannot be performed because of Master test. Please, check "Test depends on" section in "Test Properties" window for this test. http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... htm#Master

You may try to refresh both tests manually. Also you may play with Master/Dependant settings on "Behavior" tab of "Options" dialog. http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... m#Behavior

Actually, if you do not need Master/Dependatn relations you may just remove master test from list of Master tests for this particular test.

Sorry, I didn't think this was a configuration issue and wasn't sure if it was a problem (or bug).

But I think I had my question answered.

H'm... may be we should rename forums somehow or create separate forums for "bugs" and "how it works"

Not a bad idea... I didn't know where to put an operational question.

Also a "how-to" section would be nice. Not to ask questions, but post solutiosn - similar to the library. Where you could browse through solutions by topic. This could be a place for common solutions - like monitoring SQL clustering. Just a thought.
