CVM group is not online after adding a node to the Veritas InfoScale products cluster

The possible causes for the CVM group being offline after adding a node to the cluster are as follows:

To resolve the issue if cssd is configured as a critical resource

  1. Log onto one of the nodes in the existing cluster as the root user.
  2. Configure the cssd resource as a non-critical resource in the cvm group:
    # haconf -makerw
    # hares -modify cssd Critical 0
    # haconf -dump -makero

To resolve the issue if other resources in the group are not online

  1. Log onto one of the nodes in the existing cluster as the root user.
  2. Bring the resource online:
    # hares -online resource_name -sys system_name
  3. Verify the status of the resource:
    # hastatus -resource  resource_name
  4. If the resource is not online, configure it as a non-critical resource only if the resource is not critical :
    # haconf -makerw
    # hares -modify resource_name Critical 0
    # haconf -dump -makero
