Installer cannot create UUID for the cluster
The installer displays the following error message if the installer cannot find the uuidconfig.pl script before it configures the UUID for the cluster:
Couldn't find uuidconfig.pl for uuid configuration, please create uuid manually before start vcs
You may see the error message during SF Oracle RAC configuration, upgrade, or when you add a node to the cluster using the installer.
Workaround: To start SF Oracle RAC, you must run the uuidconfig.pl script manually to configure the UUID on each cluster node.
To configure the cluster UUID when you create a cluster manually
- On one node in the cluster, perform the following command to populate the cluster UUID on each node in the cluster.
# /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/uuidconfig.pl -clus -configure nodeA nodeB ... nodeN
Where nodeA, nodeB, through nodeN are the names of the cluster nodes.
