If you can send files from each VM system to every other VM system via RSCS then that's not your problem.
The next thing to check is that you've got the CONFIGx DATADVH correctly set up for Dirmaint custering - You'll need to have routing and satellite_server statements set up in there. The routing statements look like this for a 3 node RSCS setup: FROM= node1 TO= node2 S= RSCS T= node2 FROM= node2 TO= node1 S= RSCS T= node1 FROM= node1 TO= node3 S= RSCS T= node3 FROM= node3 TO= node1 S= RSCS T= node1 FROM= node2 TO= node3 S= RSCS T= node3 FROM= node3 TO= node2 S= RSCS T= node2 And then the satellite_server statements: SATELLITE_SERVER= DIRMSAT2 node2 SATELLITE_SERVER= DIRMSAT3 node3 This assumes you've setup the DIRMSAT machines at the other two nodes, and that they are coming up correctly as satellite servers. Make sure youve copied the same CONFIGx DATADVH to all of the dirmaint and dirmsat systems - the satelite servers need this config too. -- Jay Brenneman
