Error Message

The logfile generated for vxfenswap is /var/VRTSvcs/log/vxfen/vxfenswap.log.69130

Veritas vxfenswap version 7.3.1.3400 Linux

Please Wait...

CPS ERROR V-97-1400-419 Invalid UUID ()
Unable to get membership from cps [#.#.#.#]:443.

Cause

Although the VCS cluster's uuid was already registered on the current CP server, as per the  "Replacing coordination points for server-based fencing in an online cluster" section in the VCS 7.3.1  Admin Guide it's also necessary to register the VCS cluster's uuid on the new CP server prior to the swapping of the CP servers. 

Resolution

Once the VCS cluster was registered with the new CP server, the 'vxfenswap' command ran successfully.

# cpsadm -s -a add_clus -c UI_Clust -u
Local node is CP Server, assuming nodeid as 0

CPS INFO V-97-1400-721 Cluster UI_Clust added successfully
