We had a second IP cabinet with CS and SS/NRS setup at a second site. Our vendor half-way setup GR with no database/etc., and the NRS had no settings. I'm currently in the process of getting the NRS setup.
So far I have...
Basic NRS settings, service domain, L0/1 domains, gateway endpoints for the primary and alternate NRS, and endpoint routes.
Here are my questions...
1) On the alternate and primary NRS gateway endpoints do I need to check NCS on both servers for both entries?
2)Under routing entries to work with the 62XX range DNs do I just put 62?
My Main problems that I can see...
1) under gateway endpoints on both servers the other server does not register. Example: on the alternate server the primary server shows as not registered, but the alternate and primary servers are registered to themselves. Also, on the primary server I have 2 BCMs successfully registered as well.
2) The "alternate" server is showing as primary role server. I've read so much on everything that I thought I read something about when installing NRS it has to be installed as a primary or alternate at the time of installation? Is this the case?
If not what do I need to do to switch this to an actual alternate role server and what IP addresses should I change to what.
This is what I show for nrsDBShow...
ANY help on this would be greatly appreciated. Trying to get this site working properly; I've gotten far and I'm almost there.
Also, any good NTPs or posts on correctly setting up HLOC would be greatly appreciated as well

Code:
Local NRS IP Address: 172.16.6.131
Local NRS Role: Primary NRS
Primary NRS Node PRI_172_16_6_131: 172.16.6.131 ACTIVE
Alternate NRS not configured
AlternatePermanentInService: OFF
