Description

Error Message

No error is displayed on attempt to start VCS.

Where the commands are run to verify VCS configuration, errors are encountered:

# cd /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config

# hacf -verify .

VCS WARNING V-16-1-12123 Type RVG defined more than once

VCS WARNING V-16-1-12095 Aborting hacf: errors encountered

Cause

The issue is caused by the fact that the RVG resource type exists more than once.

In versions prior to 5.1, there existed a separate types file for VVR related resources.

The file "VVRTypes.cf" is no longer needed as VVR agents are now included in standard "types.cf" file.

Resolution

To resolve the issue, remove the "include VVRTypes.cf" line entry from main.cf

VCS should now start successfully with "hastart".


Issue/Introduction

Initial installation fails. Upon successful run of the installation script "installer", Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) fails to start.
