The Bind error number 98 is an OS level error. The relevant OS message for error code 98 is "Address already in use". The error is occurring due to a conflict between an application configured on the system and the default VCS (Veritas Cluster Server) port configuration. VCS uses several ports, for example TCP port number 14141. When VCS attempts to start and utilize the port, it is determined that the port is already in use and HAD fails to start. 
 

Resolution

Verify the port is already in use on the system use the netstat command. For example:
 
# netstat -a|grep 14141
tcp        0      0 :::14141                    :::*                        LISTEN
tcp        0      0 ::ffff:192.168.65.154:10919  ::ffff:192.168.65.154:14141  ESTABLISHED
tcp        0      0 ::ffff:192.168.65.154:14141  ::ffff:192.168.65.154:10919  ESTABLISHED
tcp        0      0 ::ffff:192.168.65.154:14141  ::ffff:192.168.211.105:3803 ESTABLISHED
 
On a system where VCS is to be implemented (but is not currently running), the above command should have no output. Reconfigure the application as needed to use a different TCP port to resolve the conflict.
