Secondary node will not join VCS cluster

I'm running an antique version of VCS (1.1) on a 6500/4500 pair. The
second node in the cluster will not join, and GAB seems to be
implicated. When I do a gabconfig -a on the secondary node, I get the
following:

bash-2.03# gabconfig -a
GAB Port Memberships
===============================================================
Port a gen 8a58004c membership 01
bash-2.03#

Same thing on the primary node gives me:

bash-2.03# gabconfig -a
GAB Port Memberships
===============================================================
Port a gen 8a58004c membership 01
Port h gen 229f0013 membership 0
bash-2.03#

It's obvious that VCS is not started on the secondary node from this -
the system just hangs out at "Waiting for cluster membership", and
doesn't open GAB port h. I'm under the impression that it's trying to
get GAB membership in the state of "Waiting for cluster membership".
It's obvious that LLT is working, because GAB is working, but here's an
lltstat -nvv (from the secondary system - it looks the same on the
primary):

bash-2.03# lltstat -nvv
LLT node information:
    Node State Link Status Address
     0 OPEN
                            hme1 UP 08:00:20:CD:8D:39
                            hme2 UP 08:00:20:CD:8D:39
                            hme0 UP 08:00:20:CD:8D:39
   * 1 OPEN
                            hme1 UP 08:00:20:BD:BC:CF
                            hme2 UP 08:00:20:BD:BC:CF
                            hme0 UP 08:00:20:BD:BC:CF

When attempting to do an hastop on the secondary system, it just hangs.
Killing hashadow and had, and doing hastart, seems to work (getting me
to the point of waiting for cluster membership). Any advice that anyone
could give would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
