Resolution
In some instances a VCS version 5.1 or later cluster may have the cluster UUID configured on one node but not the other, that node will not be able to join the running cluster.
This may be the result of an incomplete installation or just joining a new node to an existing cluster.
You'll see this error on issuing hastart:
2009/12/15 17:46:51 VCS ERROR V-16-1-10651 Cluster UUID received from snapshot is not matching with one existing on HOSTNAME. VCS Stopping. Manually restart VCS after configuring correct CID in the cluster.
Check the following steps:
To copy the cluster UUID from one node to other nodes
Run the following command to copy the cluster UUID value:
# /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/uuidconfig.pl [-rsh] -clus -copy -from_sys sys -to_sys sys1 sys2 [sys3...]
The utility copies the cluster UUID from a system that is specified using the
-from_sys option to all the systems that are specified using the -to_sys
option.
When this is done the node will be able to join the running cluster.
For more further options refer to man page for 'uuidconfig'
The UUID is stored in this file /etc/vx/.uuids/clusuuid
If there are problems with ssh or rsh which prevent uuidconfig.pl from being able to copy that file between servers, then it is possible to manually copy the file /etc/vx/.uuids/clusuuid from the server which is part of the cluster, to other servers which aren't able to join the cluster.
