Troubleshooting 
Error - canextend () - The “$DIR” directory does not exist on server 
“$TARGET_SYSTEM” 
The specified SAMS directory does not exist on the target system. Create 
the directory on the target system and attempt to extend the SAMS 
resource hierarchy again.  
Error - canextend () – Failed to copy “$CONFIG_FILE_NAME” on server 
“$TEMPLATE_SYSTEM” to “$NEW_CONFIG” on server 
“$TARGET_SYSTEM” 
LifeKeeper tried to copy the configuration file from the template system 
to the target system.  
Error - canextend () - Unable to find extendable child resources  
The SAMS resource should have at least one shared filesystem and a 
LifeKeeper-protected IP Address as resource dependencies. Verify that 
the SAMS resource has these dependencies on the template system. 
Error - canextend () - Unable to access resource information on server 
“$TEMPLATE_SYSTEM” 
This is probably due to an internal LifeKeeper error.  
Error - canextend () - Unable to find template resource “$TAG”  
This is probably due to an internal LifeKeeper error. 
WARNING: mail queue directory “$QUEUE_DIR” is not a symbolic 
link. Before bringing the SAMS hierarchy in service on server 
“$TARGET_SYSTEM” you must ensure that this location is linked to 
the same physical location as it is on server “$TEMPLATE_SYSTEM”. 
 This message indicates that one of the mail queue directories 
(usually /var/spool/mqueue/…) is not linked to the shared filesystem. 
The link must be created before SAMS is started on the target 
system.
