Error Message

VxVM vxclustadm ERROR V-5-1-9659 Clustering license not available

Resolution


When running "vxclustadm -m vcs -t gab startnode", you may receive the following error:
 
# vxclustadm -m vcs -t gab startnode
VxVMvxclustadm ERROR V-5-1-9659 Clustering license not available
 
This error can occur, if the Veritas license key has expired or has since been replaced by a new valid license, but the nodes have not been rebooted.

Additionally, the error can occur if the new license key has not been read by Veritas Volume Manger (VxVM).


Steps
 
The following steps should resolve the issue without a reboot:
 
1. Stop all nodes in cluster

# /opt/VRTS/bin/hastop -all

2. Install new license key on all impacted nodes in the cluster

# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxlicinst

3. Ask vxconfigd to rescan the license key on each node:

# /usr/sbin/vxdctl license init

4. Start VCS on all nodes in the cluster, execute the hastart command on each node:
 
# /opt/VRTS/bin/hastart
