Initial state transfer failed: Channel.getState() returned f

[karnivas]

I'm using fetchInMemoryState as true.

When i'm trying to restart(stop and startService of the treecache) cache i get this message. What is possibly causing this problem ?

I do not know what the problem is however I wanted to add that I am experiencing the same error on a cluster of 2 running on 2 different servers. However, If I cluster on the same server, the problem goes away.
I am on JBossAS 4.2.0 B2.1

I turned the debug level to "ALL" and do not get that much more.

[org.jboss.ha.framework.server.ClusterPartition] Caught exception after channel connected; closing channel -- Initial state transfer failed: Channel.getState() returned false

Are you on a similar env. Do you get the same error when log level is up?

Try increasing InitialStateRetrievelTimeout. If your app has a lot of state or is handling requests when you start, the transfer can take a while.

I have tried that to no avail.

As said I increased the InitialStateRetrievelTimeout to a higher value and find it proper now. Thanks !!
