Chapter1 1 CWM to CWM Communica tions Recovering From Degrade Mode
Step 11 Repeat steps 7-10 above to include any addit io na l Secondary CWMs in th e new domain. The
DomainGatewayList on all of the Second ary CWMs must match the final DomainGatewayList on
the Primary CWM. This list will include the n ew P rimary and all new S eco n d a rie s in the new
domain.
One Secondary CWM has lost IP connectivity wit h t h e Pri m ary CWM
To recover from this d e gr aded mode of ope ra tion , re -e stabl ish IP c onn ect iv it y on th e Se cond ar y
CWM, and the Secondary CWM will automatically re-sync th e user data tables with the Prim ary
CWM.
Note IP Connectivity is still mainta ined between the Primary CW M a nd the other Secondary CWMs
in this scenario. Only the Secondary CWM that has lost IP connectivity with the Primary CWM
will be working in the degrade mode unti l its IP conn ectivit y is re- estab lis hed.
The CWM Gateway process dies on the Primary and is NOT restarted by watchdog
To recover from this degrad ed mode of operation, warm start only on the Primary CWM. In this
case the original Primary CW M is still the designated Prim ary CWM, and the Secondary C WMs
automatically re-sync user data tables.
Note User data provisioning is still in progress on the Primary CWM without the CWM Gateway
process running. Additi onally, in this case, the Primary C WM still has connectivity w it h all
Secondary CWMs.
If a Warm start does not work, then eliminate the downed Pr imary from the CWM domai n by
following these steps:
Step 1 Manually remove the dow n ed Primary from all the ot he r CWMs DomainGatewayLists in the
CWMGateway.conf file
The following is an example of a CWMGateway.conf file with a DomainGatewayList consisting of
three CWM workstations named c w mw s 1, cwm w s2 , a nd cwmws3, with cwmws1 ass i gned as th e
Primary and cwmws2 and cwmws3 a s sig ne d as S e co nd arie s:

The above DomainGatewayList, for example, would n eed to b e edit ed to sho w that the do wne d Primar y
has been removed from all the other CWMs DomainGatewayLists in the CWMGateway.conf file. In
this example, you would remove th e d owned P rim ary from both cwmws2 and cw m w s3
DomainGatewayLists to include only cwmws2 and cwmws3 Secondaries in the same domain:
