Description

Error Message

2011/02/14 10:41:02 VCS ERROR V-16-10001-14016 (alaw1) Zone:Zone_Green:monitor:svcs command failed to find the status of the milestone

Cause

In the monitor script the value of the BootState attribute is used to run the svcs command.  If BootState is null, then the command will become "svcs -o STATE -H  milestone/" and the svcs command will return failed.

$cmdout = `$ZLOGIN "$cname" $SVCS -o STATE -H milestone/$BootState 2> /dev/null`;

Resolution

The workaround is to specify a valid BootState value, e.g. multi-user-server

# hares -modify  BootState "multi-user-server"

Check the attribute with the following command.

# hares -value  BootState          
multi-user-server

For example,

# hares -modify Zone_Green BootState "multi-user-server"  

 

# hares -value Zone_Green BootState          
multi-user-server

The problem will be fixed in future patch release.

 


Applies To

Veritas Cluster Server (VCS)  environment with VRTSvcsag 5.1 SP1 HF1, HF2 or RP1 installed on Solaris platform.

The value of the Zone resource attribute BootState is null.   The current value of BootState can be checked with the following command.

# hares -value  BootState
