Error description

  • After a rolling migration:  PowerHA 6.1 -> PowerHA 7.1.X,
    users may see clstart failing with the following message:
    .
    rc.cluster: Error: RSCT cluster services (cthags) are
    not active on this node.
    .
    clstart: Error: RSCT cluster services (cthags) are
    not active on this node.
    

Local fix

  • After Rolling Migration is successfully finished, which
    means the Migration protocol has been run successfully
    and all nodes in the cluster share the same "CLversion:"
    .
    In example:
    .
    #lssrc -ls clstrmgrES | awk '/CLversion/ && !/awk/'
    CLversion: 14
    .
    If the condition above is ok, users can reboot both
    nodes,
    in order to have cthags running instead of grpsvcs.
    

Problem summary

  • after a rolling migration from version 61 is complete and the
    version is updated in HACMPcluster, by design, grpsvcs is
    still running until the next reboot of the node, when cthags
    will run. If you bring down cluster services and try to restart
    before the 1st reboot after a rolling migration, an error is
    reported because cthags is not running.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Update clstart to allow either grpsvcs or cthags to be running
    

Temporary fix
