VCS Setup - "Install A Clustered Master Server" Greyed Out
- 10 years ago
We're testing this for your in our lab quick. Cluster doens't like it when the disk are not really shared, i would suggest changing it to and RDM. Will update you later but so far we see the same thing, with no diskgroup imported the option is greyed out.

Hi Shaun,
In single node cluster, Install A Clustered Master Server" Greyed Out, if the LLT (heart beat) has not configured. please configured LLT and try to install NBU, the Install A Clustered Master Server should visible.

To configure LLT manually:
1. Enable llt and gab. These services are hidden and usually disabled by default so you need to enable them by editing the following registry entries by changing the "Start" key from 4 (disabled) to 2:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\llt HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\gab
2. Create an llthosts.txt and llttab.txt file in \Program Files\VERITAS\comms\llt as follows:
llthosts.txt
0 host_name_of_server
llttab.txt
set-node host_name_of_server set-cluster 11 link Adapter0 MAC-ADDR_with_colon_seperator - ether - - start
The cluster id set by "set-cluster" should be unique so you should check if you have any other clusters on the same network and I guess you know you can get MAC address from "ipconfig /all"
3. Create an gabtab.txt file in \Program Files\VERITAS\comms\gab as follows:
gabtab.txt
gabconfig -c -n 1
Stop VCS:
hastop -all
Start llt, gab and VCSComm:
net start llt net start gab net start VCSComm
Check gab is running
gabconfig -a
Then start VCS:
hastart
Hopefully NBU wizard only checks llt and gab are running and not number of heartbeats, but if it is still greyed out you can create 2 heartbeats with the same interface so add line to llttab.txt like:
link Adapter1 SAME-MAC-ADDR_with_colon_seperator - ether - -
And then restart all services.
To undo above, just do reverse, but you can leave LLT and GAB running if you want.
