Resolution

Note: This procedure will not require a reboot as long as all Veritas and Veritas services are stopped first.

 

1. Set cluster as unsecure.

000032788

 

2. Note the following directories on each node.

a. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Veritas\Security\Authentication\InstallDir
b. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\Security\Authentication\InstallDir
- These may be different across nodes.

 

3. Stop cluster services

- hastop -all -force (on one node)
- net stop llt /y (on all nodes)

 

4. Stop the following services on all cluster nodes:

- Veritas Private Branch Exchange
- Veritas Product Authentication service
- Veritas Action Agent
- Veritas Cluster Server Helper
- Veritas Command Server
- Veritas Enterprise Administrator Service
- Veritas GridNode
- Veritas Scheduler Service
- Veritas Storage Agent
- Veritas Storage Foundation Messaging Service
- Veritas Volume Replication services (all)
- Veritas VSS Provider
- Veritas VxBridge Service
- Virtual Disk
- Kill VXVDS.exe and vxvdsdyn.exe processes if they exist

 

5. Uninstall server and client MSI of VxAt on all nodes in the cluster

 

AT MSI location for clusters that have AT patch applied:

C:\Program files\Veritas\Veritas Shared\VPI\hotfix_AT_

 

AT MSI file location if no Hotfix folder is present in VPI:

 

32‐bit
C:\Program Files\Veritas\Veritas Shared\VPI\{F834E070-8D71-4c4b-B688-06964B88F3E8}\pkgs\32\common  --> Veritas Authentication Service.msi
C:\Program Files\Veritas\Veritas Shared\VPI\{F834E070-8D71-4c4b-B688-06964B88F3E8}\pkgs\32\common --> Veritas Authentication Service Client.msi

 

64‐bit
C:\Program Files\Veritas\Veritas Shared\VPI\{F834E070-8D71-4c4b-B688-06964B88F3E8}\pkgs\64\common --> Veritas Authentication Service.msi
*** DO NOT USE THE CLIENT.MSI IN THIS LOCATION!!

C:\Program Files\Veritas\Veritas Shared\VPI\{F834E070-8D71-4c4b-B688-06964B88F3E8}\pkgs\64\w2k3\x64 --> Veritas Authentication Service Client.msi

 

6. Delete vrtsat service using ‘sc delete vrtsat’ (if the Veritas Product Authentication Service still exists) on all nodes

 

7. Empty or rename the directories noted in Step 2 on all the nodes in the cluster:

 

8. Install VxAt on all nodes

- Use the same MSIs as step 5

 

7. Start all the services stopped in step 2.

 

8. Run hastart -all from any node.
 

Run Cluster Configuration Wizard to resecure the cluster.

- Make sure to check both HAD Helper and SSO when configuring SSO per eTrack 2722228.
