Problem

The Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) utility 'hastatus -sum' shows that a node is stuck in REMOTE_BUILD status.

Solution

The issue:

After upgrading network cards, which require a new Solaris network driver (e1000g), a node joining a VCS cluster is stuck in a REMOTE_BUILD state:

Symptoms:

/opt/VRTSvcs/bin/hastatus -sum reports that a node is in a REMOTE_BUILD state.

Conditions:

The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size on the new driver/card is set greater than the corresponding MTU value on the network switch.

Cause:

The MTU size is too high.

Workaround:

1.Change the MTU of the new driver/card to less than or equal to the MTU value on the network switch.

2. Restart LLT.
