IV08262: CAA MKCLUSTER - 2ND NODE DOES NOT START ALL CAA SERVICES APPLIES TO AIX 7100-00

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a CAA cluster is first created after a new install
  of
  AIX via mkcluster. Or if created via PowerHA SystemMirror
  smit panels.
  Although mkcluster returns no error the 2nd node does
  not configure correctly:
  
  No CAA subsystems are started, apart from clcomd which
  is started from /etc/inittab:
  
  # lssrc -g caa
  Subsystem   Group  PID          Status
   clcomd     caa    4587616      active
   cld        caa                 inoperative
   clconfd    caa                 inoperative
  
  The solid and solidhac subsystems do not get created.
  
  Because of this group services cannot start and therefore
  start of PowerHA cluster services fails:
  
   ConnectToRsct: calling ha_gs_setup
   ConnectToRsct: ha_gs_init failed,rc=19
   SendRmInfoBcast: Called, state = ST_JOINING
   clstrmgrES: Failed to initialize group services after 14
   tries (70 seconds), exiting.
   die: clstrmgr on node 2 is exiting with code 0
  
  However if after creating the cluster both nodes are
  rebooted all will configure correctly
  
  Effected AIX levels:
  
  7100-00-02
  7100-00-03
  

Local fix

• After creating the CAA cluster  reboot all nodes of the
  cluster.
  

Problem summary

• After a fresh install, multi-node cluster creation will fail,
  leaving the initiator in a single-node cluster.  The initiator
  will output an error indicating that the target node returned
  an invalid message.
  

Problem conclusion

• Redirect stdout and stderr on any non-initiating node so no
  output to stdout or stderr will get written to the pipe used
  for coordinated config.
  

Temporary fix

Comments

• 6100-06 - use AIX APAR IV13497
  7100-00 - use AIX APAR IV08262
