V-16-1-10493 Evaluating %s as potential target node for group %s

V-16-1-10493 is an informative message that is typically reported after a service group has faulted and VCS is looking for a suitable node to which to failover after a fault. It can also be reported when a service group is brought online.

It is reported when HAD is in the process of evaluating each available node as a potential target for the service group to go online.

Example:

2020/07/12 03:01:10 VCS INFO V-16-10001-5512 (server101) Mount:sg1_mnt1:offline:Unmounted /dev/vx/dsk/dg1/vol01 using SIGTERM

2020/07/12 03:01:14 VCS INFO V-16-1-10305 Resource dg1 (Owner: Unspecified, Group: sg1) is offline on server101 (VCS initiated)
2020/07/12 03:01:14 VCS ERROR V-16-1-10205 Group sg1 is faulted on system server101
2020/07/12 03:01:14 VCS NOTICE V-16-1-10446 Group sg1 is offline on system server101
2020/07/12 03:01:14 VCS INFO V-16-1-10493 Evaluating server101 as potential target node for group sg1
2020/07/12 03:01:14 VCS INFO V-16-1-50010 Group sg1 is online or faulted on system server101
2020/07/12 03:01:14 VCS INFO V-16-1-10493 Evaluating server102 as potential target node for group sg1

Review the errors  prior to the evaluation message to determine why the failover is occurring.  In this example the mount point failed due to a SIGTERM causing the resource to go offline and the service group sg1 to fault. VCS then started the process of evaluation for those servers which were available for failover.
