The peerctl lists were not setup correctly and thus replication is not working from the primary node to the secondary node on either platform. There are a few tasks you can perform to validate whether replication to your secondary nodes are healthy. First, ensure dbSyncCheck [...]

R13/R14 requires RHEL4 and there is a snag I ran into when running the up2date process on the lab system. During the initial Broadworks install the application changes /bin/nice so nice may be run by bwadmin and thus change application [...]
