Ok, making progress.
Please send a copy of all bb_hosts files. remember that the servers have
both server & client software running so you have 4 bb_hosts here + a
client bb_hosts for any system that is client only.
Actually, I suspect that your clients are not configured correctly so you
might as well check that first. each client should define both bb_hosts,
at least as BBDISPLAY so please check that first.
If you don't want to dork with the primary server's bb-hosts, that's ok.
just get the secondary to report to both servers and then you can decide
what to do about the primary later.

Thanks for the info. I've now got two servers, both Red Hat Linux,
running Big Brother. ServerA (The Primary) is running as the BBNET,
BBPAGER, BBDISPLAY, which is set in the bb-hosts file. This machine is
what our organization is depending on for Big Brother. We have set up
ServerB (The Secondary) as the failover server, which is set in its
bb-bbexttab file. ServerB is missing all it's columns.
The /bbvar/logs directory of ServerB, only show the servers with the conn
suffix, which explains why there is only one column for connection test.
These FQDNs are listed EXACTLY as they are in the bb-hosts file.
Also, I've verified that the client is running on ServerB
#ps wauxg | grep bbc

/home/bbrother/bb/bbc1.9e-btf/bin/bb-local.sh
Still have the missing columns issue.

Sorry to bother everyone.
I just installed a new failover server and can see the main BB html
page. However, I'm missing all columns aside from conn. Any idea how I
can get these?
There is insufficient information in your question to hazard a guess.
The only fact you've provided is that (one) test run from your display
server
(actually BBNET) works and tests run from your client do not.
Before asking another question try some investigation.
I assume your display server is some Unix variant, probably the Windows
display is similar but I don't know how to translate.
look in .../bbvar/logs and see if the test results you are looking for
are there. (format of the filename is "servername.testname". and
"servername" must match EXACTLY what is in the display server's bbhost
file.
If they are, the problem is (probably) on the display server. If not
(and I'll bet not), then the client is not sending them (correctly).
1) Client isn't installed (correctly)
2) Client is not running.
3) Client is not configured (correctly)
a) most important information is the the bbhosts file define the
BBDISPLAY& BBPAGER correctly
Suggest you read the configuration section before you post additional
questions. It will solve a lot of your problems.
If you still have a problem, you'll get better answers by posting
information about your configuration and a list of things you've tried
and appear to be correct (or incorrect).
