Unable to add node to cluster

[sfairman]

I am trying to add a new node to my DR cluster but getting the following errors in the log?

Hi,

Which systems are involved, which are new, and which are existing ones?

Did you check if this file exists? Can you delete it?

\\NAAPEV20\C$\Program Files\Veritas\Cluster Server\Conf\Config\.stale

[frankgfan]

How did you add the new node to your DR cluster?  Is your DR cluster a single node cluster?

It is possible that VCS marked the configuration stale by creating a .stale file because the last VCS shutdown was not graceful.

Type the following commands to verify the configuration and force VCS to reread the configuration file:

C:\> cd %VCS_HOME\conf\config
C:\> hacf -verify .
C:\> hasys -force system
