Cause

Node name value for the MAC address attribute in NIC and IP resource is case sensitive.

Hostname/Node name values in VCS Windows/Unix are case sensitive.
 
Example : Entries for server01 and SERVER01 would be seen as two different cluster nodes in VCS.

 

Resolution

Ensure all the entries for the node name values in main.cf (%vcs_home%\conf\config\main.cf) are in uppercase.

Note : Other cluster configuration files may need to be changed if they show the lower case hostnames too.
