Upgrade fails during pre-flight in VCS service group checks even if the failover service group is ONLINE on a node, but FAULTED on another node
For failover service groups, the FAULTED state of a service group on a node is not an issue as long as the service group is online on another node in the cluster. The FAULTED state on the service group on a node can be cleared manually to pass the upgrade prechecks. (IA-30306, IA-40255)
Workaround:
Login in maintenance mode.
Identify the VCS service groups that are in FAULTED state by executing the following command:
hagrp -state | grep FAULTED
Check if the above service group is ONLINE on at least one node, but FAULTED on other nodes:
hagrp -state <service group>
From the Appliance GUI, go to to clear all the faults on the cluster.
If a service group is still in FAULTED state, login in maintenance mode and run the following command:
hagrp -clear <service group>
