Troubleshooting tfa issues

Check the tfa process on both the nodes
ps -ef | grep tfa

Verify TFA runtime status
# /u01/app/grid/tfa/bin/tfactl print status

Check for errors:
# /u01/app/grid/tfa/bin/tfactl print errors

Check for database startups:
# /u01/app/grid/tfa/bin/tfactl print startups

Restart TFA
# /etc/init.d/init.tfa  restart

Stop TFAMain process and removes related inittab entries
# /etc/init.d/init.tfa shutdown
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To list hosts
tfactl print hosts

To add the host successfully, try the following steps:
1. Get the cookie in node1 using:
./tfa_home/bin/tfactl print cookie
2. Set the cookie from Step 1 in node2 using:
  ./tfa_home/bin/tfactl set cookie=
3. After Step 2, add host again:
 ./tfa_home/bin/tfactl host add node2

Verify TFA runtime status
tfactl print status

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By default TFA will try to use ports 5000 to 5005 for secure root communications however if that port range is not
available on your system this can be changed.

The file TFA_HOME/internal/usuableports.txt when installed looks like this.

#cat /opt/oracle/tfa/tfa_home/internal/usableports.txt
5000
5001
5002
5003
5004
5005

To change the ports TFA will try to use you need to:-
1) Stop TFA on all nodes
2) Edit usableports.txt to replace the ports you wish tfa to use.
3) Remove the file tfa_home/internal/port.txt on all nodes.
4) Start TFA on all nodes.

Note: The usableports.txt file must be identical on all nodes.

TFA will also use one of ports 5006 to 5011 on the loopback interface for non root communications however
if that port range is not available on your system then this can also be changed.

The file TFA_HOME/internal/NonRootusuableports.txt when installed looks like this.

#cat /opt/oracle/tfa/tfa_home/internal/usableNonRootports.txt
5006
5007
5008
5009
5010
5011

To change the ports TFA will try to use you need to:-
1) Stop TFA on all nodes
2) Edit usableports.txt to replace the ports you wish tfa to use.
3) Remove the file tfa_home/internal/NonRootports.txt on all nodes.
4) Start TFA on all nodes.

re-installation with -local will resolve the adding the hosts.
