Problem
This article discusses possible causes and remedies for the "ADMIN WAIT" in Cluster Server (VCS).
Error Message
ADMIN WAIT
Solution
1. Restart the high availability daemon (had) and confirm that the ADMIN WAIT status persists after the restart.
# hastop -local -force
# hastart
2. Use hacf -verify command to confirm that there are no syntax errors in cluster configuration files.
| For example: # cd /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config |
3. Check the types.cf and confirm that all of the included files actually exist under /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config.
4. Use diff to compare the current versions of the configuration files (such as main.cf and types.cf) with earlier versions. If unexpected differences are reported, revert to the previous versions of main.cf and types.cf, on all nodes. This must be done while HAD is stopped.
5. Use diff to compare types.cf in /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config with /etc/VRTSvcs/conf to see if there is a difference. If you recently upgraded, you need to copy the types.cf from conf to config. Make sure to backup the current types.cf before replacing it.
