Error Message

VCS WARNING Local node leaving cluster before joining as engine versions differ. Local engine version: 0x5000a03; Current cluster version: 0x5000a00

Cause

This error is commonly seen after upgrades of VRTSvcs. In some instances, not all nodes have been upgraded or patched and after a reboot the nodes no longer join.

Resolution

 
1) Run the command `had -version` to verify which node has the incorrect version.
 
example:
#/opt/VRTSvcs/bin/had -version
EngineVersion    x.x
JoinVersion      x.x.x.x
 
 
2) To resolve the issue, install the correct version of VRTSvcs on the node that is not joining and post reboot, it should now be able to join the cluster. .
 
 

 

Issue/Introduction

When a node tries to join an existing cluster, the HAD engine fails to start on that.
