Resolution

Following steps may need to be used when a full refresh of the cluster services are required.

This is also useful when there are issues with the heartbeat connection or configuration.

[Stopping heartbeat services]

1. hastop -local -force

****This will stop the HAD engine on the troubled node if not already stopped****

2. net stop llt

When prompted, say Yes. This stops LLT service and all dependent services.

[Starting heartbeat services]

1. net start llt

****Starts LLT service****.

2. net start vcscomm

****Starts the Veritas CommStartup Service****

3. net start GAB

****Starts GAB service****.

4. gabconfig -x

****This is to manually seed the cluster****

5. .hastart

****Start HAD engine on local server****

The cluster status can now be confirmed with below command

hasys -state
-

****This will output a list of all the nodes in the cluster (including any remote cluster) and the status of cluster service on each node****.
