Veritas Cluster Server Release Notes Known issues 72 Some Cluster Manager features fail to work in a firewall setup [1392406] In certain environments with firewall configurations between the Cluster Manager and the VCS cluster, the Cluster Manager fails with the following error message: V-16-10-13 Could not create CmdClient. Command Server may not be running on this system. Workaround: You must open port 14150 on all the cluster nodes. Issues related to virtualization Host fails to reboot when the resource gets stuck in ONLINE|STATE UNKNOWN state [2738864] In a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment, if a host reboot is performed on which the KVMGuest resource monitoring the virtual machine is ONLINE, then the host reboot fails. This is because the VDSM is getting stopped before VCS could shutdown the virtual machine. In this case, the virtual machine state remains ONLINE|STATE UNKNOWN, and hence VCS stop fails eventually failing the host reboot as well. Workaround: Switch the service group to other node before initiating a host reboot. VM state is in PAUSED state when storage domain is inactive [2747163] If the storage domain associated with the running virtual machine becomes inactive, the virtual machine may go to paused state. Workaround: Make sure that the storage domain is always active when running virtual machine. Switching KVMGuest resource fails due to inadequate swap space on the other host [2753936] Virtual machine fails to start on a host if the host does not have the sufficient swap space available. Workaround: Please make sure that each host has sufficient swap space available for starting the virtual machine.

Veritas Cluster Server Release Notes Known issues 73 Policies introduced in SLES 11SP2 may block graceful shutdown if a VM in SUSE KVM environment [2792889] In a SUSE KVM environment, virtual machine running SLES11 SP2 inside may block the virtual machine graceful shutdown request due to some policies introduced in SLES 11SP2. SUSE recommends turning off the policy with polkit-gnome-authorization for a virtual machine. Workaround: Make sure that all the policies blocking any such request are turned off. Load on libvirtd may terminate it in SUSE KVM environment [2824952] In a SUSE KVM environment, occasionally libvirtd process may get terminated and /etc/init.d/libvirtd status command displays: #/etc/init.d/libvirtd status Checking status of libvirtd dead This may be due to heavy load on libvirtd process. Workaound: Restart the libvirtd process and run: # service libvirtd stop # service libvirtd start Offline or switch of KVMGuest resource fails if the VM it is monitoring is undefined [2796817] In a SUSE KVM environment, if a running virtual machine is undefined using virsh undefine command, an attempt to offline or switch the KVM guest resource monitoring that VM fails because the agent is not able to get the information from the KVM hypervisor. Workaround: To undefine the VM on a particular node, first switch the service group containing the KVMGuest resource to another node and then undefine the VM on the first node. VCS may detect the migration event during the regular monitor cycle due to the timing issue [2827227] In a virtualization environment, VCS detects the virtual machine migration initiated outside VCS and changes the state accordingly. However, occasionally, VCS may miss the migration event due to timing issue and detect the migration during the regular monitor cycle. For example, if you set OfflineMonitorInterval as 300sec, it

Policies introduced in SLES 11SP2 may block graceful shutdown<br />

if a VM in SUSE KVM environment [2792889]<br />

In a SUSE KVM environment, virtual machine running SLES11 SP2 inside may<br />

block the virtual machine graceful shutdown request due to some policies introduced<br />

in SLES 11SP2. SUSE recommends turning off the policy with<br />

polkit-gnome-authorization for a virtual machine.<br />

Workaround: Make sure that all the policies blocking any such request are turned<br />

off.<br />

Load on libvirtd may terminate it in SUSE KVM environment<br />

[2824952]<br />

In a SUSE KVM environment, occasionally libvirtd process may get terminated<br />

and /etc/init.d/libvirtd status command displays:<br />

dead<br />

This may be due to heavy load on libvirtd process.<br />

Workaound: Restart the libvirtd process and run:<br />

# service libvirtd stop<br />

# service libvirtd start<br />

Offline or switch of KVMGuest resource fails if the VM it is<br />

monitoring is undefined [2796817]<br />

In a SUSE KVM environment, if a running virtual machine is undefined using virsh<br />

undefine command, an attempt to offline or switch the KVM guest resource<br />

monitoring that VM fails because the agent is not able to get the information from<br />

the KVM hypervisor.<br />

Workaround: To undefine the VM on a particular node, first switch the service group<br />

containing the KVMGuest resource to another node and then undefine the VM on<br />

the first node.<br />

VCS may detect the migration event during the regular monitor<br />

cycle due to the timing issue [2827227]<br />

In a virtualization environment, VCS detects the virtual machine migration initiated<br />

outside VCS and changes the state accordingly. However, occasionally, VCS may<br />

miss the migration event due to timing issue and detect the migration during the<br />

regular monitor cycle. For example, if you set OfflineMonitorInterval as 300sec, it
