Secondary RVG creation using addsec command fails with a hostname not responding error (4113218)

Last published : Sep 11, 2026
This issue is observed in a Cluster Volume Replication (CVR) environment. While setting up replication, if you try adding a secondary RVG from the slave node to the primary cluster immediately after creating the primary RVG, the vradmin addsec command fails and the following error is displayed:
VxVM VVR vradmin ERROR V-5-52-421 vradmind server on host <hostname>
not responding or hostname cannot be resolved.
Workaround: This is a transient issue. Wait for some time and try the same operation again. The secondary RVG creation should succeed.
