Description
Error Message
VCS WARNING V-16-1-10641 IpmHandle::open Cannot create AF_INET6 socket. errno = 97
Cause
The VCS_HOST environment variable should be set to a different value than "localhost" keyword (normally the hostname).
[root@node01 ~]# su - oscar
[oscar@node01 ~]$ export VCS_HOST=localhost
[oscar@node01 ~]$ halogin admin
Enter Password:
VCS WARNING V-16-1-10641 IpmHandle::open Cannot create AF_INET6 socket. errno = 97
[oscar@node01 ~]$ hasys -list
VCS WARNING V-16-1-10641 IpmHandle::open Cannot create AF_INET6 socket. errno = 97
node01
Also, if the VCS_HOST is not set, it will create a .vcspwd file with the localhost keyword inside and it will cause the same error output:
[root@node01 ~]# su - oscar
[oscar@node01 ~]$ halogin admin
Enter Password:
VCS WARNING V-16-1-10641 IpmHandle::open Cannot create AF_INET6 socket. errno = 97
[oscar@node01 ~]$ cat .vcspwd
100 localhost admin HQQyRNpNQkRMlWNjNL
[oscar@node01 ~]$ hasys -list
VCS WARNING V-16-1-10641 IpmHandle::open Cannot create AF_INET6 socket. errno = 97
node01
Resolution
Set the VCS_HOST to something different to "localhost" keyword (like the hostname), the error message is not reported once this is done.
[root@node01 ~]# su - oscar
[oscar@node01 ~]$ export VCS_HOST=node01.ges.Veritas.com
[oscar@node01 ~]$ halogin admin
Enter Password:
[oscar@node01 ~]$ hasys -list
node01
