Description
Error Message
2011/07/14 10:00:23 VCS NOTICE V-16-1-11057 GAB registration monitoring timeout set to 200000 ms
Cause
The value of VCS_GAB_RMTIMEOUT is specified in milliseconds, and minimum value of VCS_GAB_RMTIMEOUT is 200000 milliseconds (200 seconds). If VCS_GAB_RMTIMEOUT is less than the minimum value of VCS_GAB_RMTIMEOUT then VCS overrides and set it to 200000 milliseconds (200 seconds).
It is not reflected correctly in the documentation (VCS Administrator's Guide, formerly called VCS User's Guide).
Resolution
Specify the value in milliseconds. To set the value of VCS_GAB_RMTIMEOUT to 900 seconds (900000 milliseconds), set the following in /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/vcsenv file and restart the cluster.
# grep VCS_GAB_RMTIMEOUT "/opt/VRTSvcs/bin/vcsenv"
VCS_GAB_RMTIMEOUT=900000
# Once this is set and VCS engine restarted on the node, engine_A.log shows the correct value.
