Error Code details
V-16-1-10212
Severity: Error 
Component: Cluster Server 
Message:
%s dropped below zero; setting to zero
Description:

TargetCount is an internal attribute of service group, which indicates how many systems Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) attempts to bring online (in case of a parallel group). In case of a failover service group, the value of TargetCount is 1 when the group is online. When the service group is brought offline manually, VCS decreases the value.

 

For example, the following commands evoke a decrement of the value of TargetCount when the service group goes offline.

# hagrp -offline

# hastop -local

 

This message is displayed when VCS lowers the value of TargetCount unintentionally, and makes the value negative. In such a case, VCS sets the value to zero.

This solution applies to VCS 5.1 or 5.1SP1.

 

If the service group is online, VCS might not failover the service group if the TargetCount setting is lowered. In case that you want to offline the service group, no further action is required. Otherwise, try  the following steps.

 

  1. To verify the TargetCount setting, on any cluster node, enter:

     

# hagrp -display -attribute TargetCount CurrentCount –all

 

If the TargetCount value in the output is less than the CurrentCount value, continue with the next steps. Otherwise VCS will bring the service group online, and no user action is required.

 

  1. Close the configuration and dump any changes to main.cf. Enter:
     

# haconf –dump –makero

 

  1. Stop VCS on all the nodes. Enter:
     

# hastop –all –force

 

  1. Start VCS on all nodes. Enter:
     

# hastart
