Unable to probe resources following Veritas Cluster Server upgrade or installation using previous configuration data
Article ID: 100005541

Cause
Veritas Cluster Server uses the types definitions provided by the "types.cf" file for resource definition and agent argument list generation.
A common issue following cluster upgrade is not upgrading the active configuration's types definitions using the upgrade package's types definitions.
Resolution
Scenario:
First identify that there is a size different between the active cluster types definition and the upgraded default types definitions:
# ls -l /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/types.cf /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/types.cf
-rw------- 1 root sys 12224 Mar 4 10:42 /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/types.cf
-r--r--r-- 1 root sys 13370 Sep 7 2010 /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/types.cf
If the conf/config/types.cf file is smaller than the conf/types.cf file then this indicates that the cluster needs to have the types definitions upgraded.
Upgrading Types Definitions
First store a backup of the current types.cf file for reference:
# cp /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/types.cf /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/types.cf-preupgrade
Next stop the VCS HAD on all nodes of the cluster:
# hastop -all -force
Next on each node in the cluster perform the following command:
# cp /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/types.cf /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/types.cf
After all nodes have had their types.cf file upgrade, start the cluster again by executing the following on each node:
# hastart
Once the cluster has been started again all resources that previous were unable to probe or were reporting UNKNOWN for resource status should finish probing successfully.
In order to complete the upgrade, compare types settings found in the original types definitions to the current environment and restore customized settings. Setting customizations can be made using the "hatype" command or through the VCS management GUI.
See the following command for assistance using the "hatype" command:
# hatype -help -modify
