Error Message

Error V-106-58644-676: Error occurred while performing the Add Secondary operation on host "xxxx" - Invalid local host specified

In the vradmin log, we see the following:

TAG_A 2018/03/13 16:01:34 [10.113.25.102] execVoldCmd Command string: vxmake -g dg1 rlink rlk_rlink1 local_host=server1 remote_rlink=rlk_rlink2 remote_dg=dg1
TAG_A 2018/03/13 16:01:34 server1[10.113.25.102] execVoldCmd Execute Command Failed with code 262

Note: We are missing the remote_host name in the above log snippet. Also, the primary rlink and remote rlink name formats are different.

Additionally, resolving the "code 262" shows the following:

The Add Secondary wizard fails because it is not able to resolve the secondary IP address. This is regardless of whether the input is a hostname or an IP address, or an entry that is defined in the host file.

It is possible to work around the problem using the command line:

and can be either hostnames, aliases, or IP addresses.

If it still fails, it may be necessary to check if NAT is enabled in the customer environment and enable NAT support using this command:

vxtune nat_support true
