550 A clustered system cannot be formed because of a lack of clustered system resources.
Explanation
The node cannot become active in a clustered system because it is unable to connect to enough clustered system resources.
If the system topology is stretched and the number of operational nodes is less than half, then node error 550 is displayed. In this case, the Site Disaster Recovery feature cannot be used as the number of operational nodes is less than the quorum required to create the clustered system that uses the Site Disaster Recovery feature.
User response
Follow troubleshooting procedures to correct connectivity issues between the cluster nodes and the quorum devices.
- Check for any node errors that indicate issues with Fibre Channel connectivity. Resolve any issues.
- Ensure that the other systems in the cluster are powered on and operational.
- Check the Fibre Channel port status. If any port is not active, run the Fibre Channel port problem determination procedures.
- Ensure that Fibre Channel network zoning changes have not restricted communication between nodes or between the nodes and the quorum disk.
- Run the problem determination procedures for the network.
- The quorum disk failed or cannot be accessed. Run the problem determination procedures for the disk controller.
