Connection string for multicluster configuration
Hello,
A customer of ours is trying to set up two Centera clusters for replication and multicluster failover. They've created two PEA files matching the two clusters and are trying to connect using the following connection string:
, ?\\ , , ?\\
On attempting to connect the SDK returns ECode = -10153, SysECode = 4, EClass = 2, Msg = Failed to authenticate PEA data, EStr = FP_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED_ERR
At the same time the customer claims that they are able to connect to each cluster separately when there is only one cluster and PEA file specified in the connection string.
Is that connection string syntax correct? What is the recommended way of using PEA file(s) and specifying the connection string for multicluster configuration?
Our application calls the SDK C API directly, if it matters.
Thanks,
Albert.

Thanks Paul!
I guess this username was somehow assigned to me automatically when I first signed up and now the problem is that I don't seem to be able to find a way to change it...

as there are two clusters you need to merge the two pea files like this.
In the peafile you'll see an XML file with the format
......
.....
take the ... entry from one of the files and put it after the ... in the other (but before the
Use that for both and it should work. You can now shorten your connect string to
, , , ?\\PEA_file_path
BTW - your username made me nearly reach for the delete button as it looks like a bot created it
