You might get a Migration Authentication error when you attempt to connect to a newly created cluster resource on the target server.
2013-05-03 12:34:20,095 INFO - Migration Framework:Authentication:nbackup: Unable to retrieve the Target Service Name list from <resource_IP_address>, trying with DNS name <resource_DNS_name> 2013-05-03 12:34:20,096 INFO - Migration Framework:Authentication: 2013-05-03 12:34:20,096 INFO - Migration Framework:Authentication:nbackup: Unable to retrieve the Target Service Name list from <resource_DNS_name>
There are two possible causes:
The Storage Management Service (SMS) smdr.novell service running on the target server is not aware of the newly created resource.
The Migration tool uses SMS to transfer data between nodes. When a cluster resource is first created, the smdrd service is not automatically aware of the new resource. See Section 17.21, Error 603 - smdr.novell is not registered with SLP for a new cluster resource.
Restart smdrd. Thereafter, smdrd is aware of the cluster resource, and advertises it correctly.
Log in to the target server as the root user, open a terminal console, then enter
rcnovell-smdrd restart
The cluster resource does not contain a volume.
A properly created pool cluster resource or LVM cluster resource contains at least one volume. Even if you have restarted the smdrd service, the service by design does not recognize a resource unless it contains a data volume.
Ensure that the resource contains a volume and is configured properly, then restart smdrd. Thereafter, smdrd is aware of the cluster resource, and advertises it correctly.
Create a volume on the pool or LVM volume group, update the resource scripts as needed, then take the resource offline and bring it online to apply the changes.
Log in to the target server as the root user, open a terminal console, then enter
rcnovell-smdrd restart
