Hi Hansel,

For a mirroring issue usually the full context of all mirror members is usually important to understand a problem, whereas a singular message may not paint the whole picture.

This error in particular (you included an excerpt, but I have seen it before) indicates that this instance is unable to take over the VIP, so you may want to check if the VIP is available or if it may be assigned to a different machine as the rest of the error message would indicate.

Is so confused, after many documentation reviews and some probably network problems resolved,  error still alive

context

2 new server iris

1 arbiter

4 IP addresss

/etc/hosts fixed with all ip definitions :

serverpri X.X.X.67
serversec X.X.X.65
servervip X.X.X.85
serverarb X.X.X.99

Network Mask 255.255.255.128

Last Error  journal: InterSystems IRIS(IRIS)[2226]: AddVirtualAddress failed, cannot become primary: Host at osirispri:2188 ISCAgent answered :ERR:Failed to initialize config info.

I think something is wrong inside Primary, but a don't have any clue
