Cluster Management Suite - hangs on "Determining Network Information"

[mksmith]

Hello:

I am attempting to use CMS on a pre-existing network of switches. All of the switches are connected and have been managed via telnet since their installation.

When I run the GUI to one of the switches and create the Cluster with that switch as the lead, it comes back to the main GUI with no problem. However, when I try to add even one more switch, it hangs on "Determining Network Information" and sits there forever until I go into the CLI and delete the Cluster. The interesting thing is, if I do a "sho cluster" the new node has been correctly added.

I have tried using Java 1.3.1 and 1.4 with the same results. I've also tried it from different machines on different network segments with the same results.

Help!

Mike

Hi,

The following doc gives the detailed configuration steps and procedures.:

Hello:

I have used that link. It's during the process as listed that the GUI hangs. When I try to add a new cluster member beyond 3 switches it just hangs. I've tried it with different switches, different primary nodes, etc.
