Error Message

# gabconfig -U
GAB gabconfig ERROR V-15-2-25014 clients still registered

This error message occurs when other GAB ports (such as ODM or VxFEN) are still up, as they rely on GAB port A.  Those GAB ports/protocols must be down prior to GAB (port A) being stopped with the automated installer or gabconfig -U.

Verify that no ports besides "a" are showing up in gabconfig -a. In this example, VXFEN and VXODM are still up.

# gabconfig -a
GAB Port Memberships
===============================================================
Port a gen    29405 membership 01
Port b gen    29406 membership 01
Port d gen    29409 membership 01
 

Note: See the related articles for information on on how to stop each port. 

Check if vxfen is running, if running vxfenadm will return nodes running.

# vxfenadm -d

# /etc/init.d/vxodm status

# /etc/init.d/vxodm stop
Stopping ODM

When gabconfig -a show only port "a", gabconfig -U will work.
