Error description

  • We get the error message,
    Unexpected RSS Authentication Failure during Initialization
    Phase
    
    when onmode -d RSS <dbserveralias> is run on the RSS node, if
    HA_ALIAS is not set.
    
    If you are trying to setup RSS node using the DBSERVERALIASES of
    primary and did not set the HA_ALIAS to the DBSERVERALIAS on the
    rss node,
    It fails to add RSS node and you see this message in online.log:
    11:24:50  DR: new type = RSS
    11:24:51  Unexpected RSS Authentication Failure during
    Initialization Phase
    11:24:51  Data replication type and state information reset. To
    start DR, use
              the 'onmode -d' command and wait for the pair to be
    operational,
              before shutting down the database server
