Ice instances running properly. Database setup and running. Port 4063
(unless modified) open.

This actually just tells you which nodes are defined in the
etc/grid/default.xml application descriptor. It doesn't actually
specify which ones are active. Your best bet is:

  server state Blitz-0

which should return something like:

active (pid = 952, enabled)

This is the important bit, and definitely says we need the server
logs.

They are available under var/log/ one per node. Most likely you only
have a master node, so master.out and master.err would both be of use.
