=====================================================

I have already tried to reinstall the license.. but no luck..

# cp -pR /etc/vx/licenses/lic /etc/vx/licenses/lic_bkp
 # cd /etc/vx/licenses/lic
 # rm *.vxlic
 # /opt/VRTS/bin/vxlicinst ( Install the license key )

=======

Any suggestion?

The OS is RHEL7.1

Tks,
Joao

Sure you have installed ApplicationHA and not VCS?

The products are different and the errors shown are for VCS.
