During VCS Cluster upgrade, a new types.cf file will be copied over from /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/ to /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/. This file sometimes does not get copied over correctly. Causing VCS to not be able to probe resources in the cluster.

 

Resolution

To resolve this issue, copy over the types.cf from /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/ to /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/. This will ensure you have the most up-to-date types.cf file for VCS to use.

You may see a size difference in the file sizes that confirms an issue during upgrade.
