Cannot start CMS after Backing Up a Cluster Node
CMS operations, such as install CENTRAL mode server, start CMS, might not start as expected on the backup nodes of your Active Cluster environment. You might need to change the TDV configuration settings so that the CMS services can start automatically.
To automatically start CMS services
1. Start Active Cluster.
2. In Studio, choose Administration > Configuration.
3. Locate and set the value of the Store User Password configuration parameter to true.
This change will be synced between cluster nodes.
4. On the primary node, change the "admin" password.
5. On the backup node, change the "admin" password, the new password should be the same as the new password on the primary node.
6. Restart Active Cluster.
7. Sign in to Studio on the backup node as admin/<new password>.
