VCS Simulator 4.1 changes

[Robert_Staley_2]

Hello,
Version 3.5 had a command VERITAS\VCS Simulator\batch\simmenu.bat That would start the simulator. I do not see such an animal in 4.0/4.1
in the bin dir I see: bmcgen.exe bmcmap.exe bmcread.exe CmdSlave.exe getdrive.bat hacf.exe hadsim.exe hamsg.exe hasim.exe havol.exe lltdb.dll SimServer.exe wacsim.exe wacstop.exe
I built a skeleton main.cf with the " hasim -setupclus local -simport 14153 " and started it with " hasim -start localsys1 -clus local "
When accessing via the Cluster manager I receive VCS Warning V-16-10-92 Server is in STALE_ADMIN. One at this point would run a "hasys-force". Unfortunately that command is not available in the simulator. Does anyone have more light to shed on this?

Thanks you,

Bob

For VCS 4.2 and 4.3 (I assume it's the same for 4.0 and 4.1), the simulator is a separate install from the VCS installation CD.
It's found in Tools\cluster_server\Simulator on the CD. It then installs as a separate program.

I un-installed the Cluster Manger and re-installed the Simulator and it functioned correctly. I have since re-installed the CM and it ifuncitons as well. Haven't tried the Simulator since. No biggie.

You can have the Cluster Manager and the Cluster Simulator intalled on the same machine with no problem, provided it's the Simulator off the CD. There's a warning not to use the downloadable Simulator on a machine with Cluster Manager installed.
