Node fails to join the cluster after installation or upgrade to specific operating system versions

Last published : Sep 11, 2026
After you install or upgrade to operating system versions AIX 6.1 TL8 or 7.1 TL2 with Oracle RAC 11g Release 2 and later versions, Oracle Clusterware successfully starts on only one node in the cluster. The remaining nodes fail to join the cluster as the daemons CRSD and EVMD are in an intermediate state. For more information, see the metalink document: 1528452.1
Workaround: Install the following AIX HIPER efixes:
AIX 6.1 TL08 SP01 - APAR IV35888
AIX 7.1 TL02 SP01 - APAR IV35893
