The hacli command communicates with the high availability daemon (HAD) process for any operations on objects such as clusters, systems, service groups, and resources. If the hacli command cannot communicate with the HAD process, the following error message occurs:
VCS ERROR V-16-1-10600 Cannot connect to VCS engine
This message is displayed when:
To determine the cause of the error:
Figure 1 - Command Prompt and Application Event Viewer.
C:\>hastatus -sum
or
C:\>hasys –state
To fix the error in the case where HAD cannot start:
C:\>gabconfig -c –x (This command configures GAB, if needed, and seeds a node or nodes, regardless of the minimum specified in the gabtab.txt file.)
C:\>hasys –state (This command displays the current status of all cluster nodes that are online.)
Note: Starting with version 6.0.2, the VCS Administrator’s Guide instructs users to use gabconfig -x to manually seed the cluster, while the VCS Administrator’s Guides for 6.0.1 and earlier versions specify using gabconfig -c -x instead.
The -x option forces a subset of the required minimum nodes to seed. In a two node cluster that has only one node online, this seeds the one node and allows HAD to start on that node. Once HAD has started on one node, bringing the other node online allows it to join the cluster, as long as the private network communication between nodes is working.
If the configuration file is valid, the node should transition from LOCAL_BUILD to RUNNING. However, you must run the hasys –state command repeatedly to see if the status changes, as the command shows a snapshot of the current state.
In the case where Symantec Product Authentication Service is having issues, you need to fix and reconfigure the Symantec Product Authentication Service to resolve the HAD connectivity issue.

Sophie, you should post information as a Blog or an Article.

Thanks for your comment, Amol. I'm not very sure if I got your question right, but isn't this an article? :)
It resulted from the Social Media initiative that's been around a while. Diana Pham is the lead for it.
