The Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) utility 'hastatus -sum' shows that a node is stuck in REMOTE_BUILD status.

Solution

The issue after upgrading network cards, which require a new Solaris network driver (e1000g), a node joining a VCS cluster is stuck in a REMOTE_BUILD state.
 
Symptoms:

Conditions:
The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size on the new driver/card is set at greater than the corresponding MTU value on the network switch.
 
Cause:
The MTU size is too high.
 
Workaround:
1.Change the MTU of the new driver/card to less than or equal to the MTU value on the network switch.
2. RestartLLT.
