GMS Shoal Glassfish 3.1.2 : Can somebody translate me this into english :-)

Question

I hope it is s.t. harmless because TYPE is INFO but it fills the log files a lot.

Answer 1

These are messages generated by Shoal GMS which Glassfish uses as its clustering technology. The messages you have there show that it was expecting node qisi2 to be a member of the cluster.

As it hasn't received any communication from qisi2 for some time (not sure how long) it's assuming that node has failed.

If 'qisi2' should be a functioning node in the cluster then you should check your cluster config and communication to that node.
