Hello Chris,

Would you please help me figured out why I get clusterctrl:False?
I am running image version - 2020-08-20-8-ClusterCTRL-armhf-lite-CNAT. and [p1-4]

------> clusterctrl status
clusterhat:1
clusterctrl:False
maxpi:4
throttled:0x0
hat_version:2.5
hat_version_major:2
hat_version_minor:5
hat_size:4
hat_uuid:16aeb902-9d28-11ea-bb37-0242ac130002
hat_vendor:8086 Consultancy
hat_product_id:0x0004
hat_alert:0
hat_hub:1
hat_wp:1
hat_led:1
hat_wplink:0
hat_xra1200p:True
p1:1
p2:1
p3:1
p4:1

I usually have to change the state on start up of the nodes from down to idle, but after it seems it works well.
I read it might be related with power issues, but I don't get any messages in the logs about under voltage.
I used Davin L. on medium.com guide to configure the management.

Logs from daemon and kernel attached

Also would you please point me to resources where I can find our more about clusterctrl and clusterhat applications? I browsed https://clusterctrl.com/setup-control and 8086.support sites. Also this discussion group, but didn't manage to find answers for the differences between the two - clusterctrl and clusterhat.

Best regards
Branko

Hi, 
Would you please help me figured out why I get clusterctrl:False?

Do you have a ClusterCTRL device (Single/Triple/Stack/A+6) plugged in as well as the ClusterHAT? if not then it should show as False.

I'm not sure what you mean by "down to idle", the Pi Zeros are powered off by default - if you need them to power on automatically when the controller Pi starts you can either bridge the solder jumper (see https://8086.support/index.php?action=faq&cat=23&id=118 ) or add "@reboot /sbin/clusterctrl on" to your pi users crontab (see https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/usage/cron.md for details on setting a crontab).

On current images the "clusterhat" command is just a link to "clusterctrl".

You can look at the command "less /sbin/clusterctrl" (or https://github.com/burtyb/clusterhat-image/blob/master/files/sbin/clusterctrl ) which documents the options at the top. The first block of commands work on all devices including ClusterHAT but the second block will only work on ClusterCTRL devices (Single/Triple/Stack/A+6) which have an I2C interface over USB.

Chris.

Thank you very much.
It's all clear now. I haven't looked enough before I check with you.
And I am sorry to waste your time with such a trivial matter.

Best Regards!
Branko
