Error Message

The hasys -state command reports ADMIN_WAIT state

"ADMIN_WAIT" state indicates a syntax error in the main.cf configuration file located at %VCS_HOME%/conf/config path 

To address this issue, the steps below can be performed:

1) Make a backup copy of the %VCS_HOME%\conf\config\main.cf and %VCS_HOME%\conf\config\types.cf files.

2) Open a command prompt on one of the cluster nodes and run the below command

 hastop -all

3) Next, browse to the %VCS_HOME%/conf/config directory and run the below command

hacf -verify  .

NOTE: Be sure to include the period (.) at the end of the command as seen below

4)The above command should report the error and the line number.

Example:

5) Using a text editor such as Notepad, open the file %VCS_HOME%/conf/config/main.cf and correct any errors reported.

6) After making the changes once again, browse to the %VCS_HOME%/conf/config directory from an elevated command prompt and run the command

hacf -verify .

7) Repeat steps #4 through #6 until no errors are reported

8) After confirming there are no errors reported, run the hastart command from the node that contains the newly modified main.cf file

9) On all the remaining nodes in the cluster, run the two commands below:

gabconfig -x

hastart

10) Finally, run the command hasys -state from any one node to see the state of the nodes in the cluster. They should all be in "RUNNING" state.

NOTE: If the status is"LOCAL_BUILD" or "REMOTE BUILD," repeat step #10 until all nodes show a "RUNNING" state
