    The reason is given in your post:

    This can happen if group is not probed on all alive nodes in group's SystemList or VCS engine is not running on all alive nodes in group's

    To determine exact issue, run "hastatus -sum" and check if the output:

    1. Shows any resources unprobed
    2. Shows both systems to be in a RUNNING state

    If you are unsure, please post output of "hastatus -sum"

    If a resource is unprobed, this means the monitor has failed on that system - if you are unsure why, please post  extract from /var/VRTSvcs/log/engine_A.log from when VCS started until you tried to online service group.
