Troubleshooting tips

Problem Solution
After the upgrade, the encryption key that is in the es.cfg file for an additional server might not match the encryption key that is in the master server.
If you install an additional server to the existing (migrated) master server, communication might fail. If communication fails because of this issue, the values of the encryption key values (CK) in the es.cfg file on the servers do not match.
To use the same key values in each server:
    1. Copy the value from one server to the other.
    2. Run the eschangepw.sh script to set the same encrypted password on each server.
    3. If you use WebSphere(R) Application Server, run the eschangewaspw.sh script to set the same encrypted password on each server.

For more information about the encrypted administrator password and eschangepw.sh script, see  "Setting the encrypted administrator password to be the same on all servers" at http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS8NLW_11.0.2/com.ibm.discovery.es.ad.doc/iiysmtrencryptpswd.htm
