This morning I got to work and learned that one of our node agents was not running. What made this unique was that the node agent in question was running on a virtual machine that had recently been moved from one data center to another, across town
changing the IP address. After checking the node agent's System.out I determined that the last time the server been restated the node agent had started successfully.
WSVR0001I: Server nodeagent open for e-business
Puzzled at this point I pinged all three servers from each server and got a reply every time. I then restarted the windows service that was running the node agent and it failed to restart. Looking into the log I discovered a new error stack that started with a
CWWIM4512E The password match failed.
and ended with
SECJ0305I: The role-based authorization check failed for admin-authz operation
I did some goggling and found this
tech note from IBM that recommends "
restart(ing) the deployment manager, node agents, and servers." This resolved the original issue where the node agent showed as not running but when I tried to restart the node agent service to show what I had done to a peer I got the same error but the node agent status never changed from running in the Deployment manager : ( I will post a follow up to this issue at a later date (when it is worked out).
