Installer cannot create UUID for the cluster

Last published : Sep 11, 2026
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 VCS configuration, upgrade, or when you add a node to the cluster using the installer.
Workaround: To start VCS, 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.
