VSX Cluster R81.10 | Status of Virtual Systems is "Active!" and "Down"

[lucaslight]

Hi All,

Recently I have deployed a VSX Cluster with VSLS version R81.10 in my lab.

I created 2 VSs and found that the status of the VS is "Active!" and "Down" as follows:-

I also deployed R80.40 VSX Cluster but it didn't have this issue. As follows:-

How to troubleshoot this?

Thanks.

Was a JHF applied to either environment or was this just the base image?

R81.10 with latest JHF30.

Has policy been installed to all the virtual-systems including VS0 etc?

Could you please provide some additional outputs such as:

cphaprob state
cphaprob -i list
cphaprob -a if
vsx stat -v
cphaconf show_bond BOND_NAME

Hi Chris,

Yes, the policy has been installed to all vs as well as vs0:-

There are no pnotes in problem state

Hi Chris,

Is it because link is down cause the status is down?

Thanks.

Most likely yes, some of the other commands will provide more meaningful output when run from the specific VS context.
