VCS 5.1 - DG import fails to the new node

Hi,

 

I have recently added a new node to a cluster and it joined the cluster with no problem... but whe I tried to import a DG to the node it fails...

Note that this DG is available and imported in a different node.

Here si the log when it WORKED in a existing node:

2014/01/16 00:49:42 VCS NOTICE V-16-1-10301 Initiating Online of Resource md_DG (Owner: unknown, Group: mdm) on System D-node6

And here is when it FAILED in the new node:

Looking into the old dicussions I have tried this but still didnt work...: changed before importing

# vxdmpadm settune dmp_cache_open=off
Tunable value will be changed immediately
# vxdmpadm gettune all | grep cache
dmp_cache_open                          off               on
 

But I got the same error.

Same thing o var/adm/mesages:

Any suggestion?

 

Tks,

Joao

 

 

 

  • Veritas Volume Manager only sees the disks the O/S sees, so if Solaris "format" command only see the 7 disks from oradg01 and the 2 internal disks and "format" cannot see the 2 disks for the md_DG diskgroup, then you need to fix issue with your O/S not seeing the disks, which could be an issue with the O/S, the FC switches or the disk array.

  • Hi Joao,

    Can yo give more details , is this a CFS/CVM setup or its a failover setup ? Please give OS & SF versions as well, also to start, paste following outputs

    1. attach main.cf

    2. # gabconfig -a

    3. # cat /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf | grep -i usefence

    4. # hastatus -sum

  • Can you provide output of "vxdisk -o alldgs list" on problem node - does it show the md_DG diskgroup?

  • Faulty node is not having disks or md_dg visible, it can only see oradg01 in deported state, you need to make sure that below two disks are visible to faulty node as well ...

    st2540-0_15  auto:cdsdisk    md_DG01     md_DG       online
    st2540-0_16  auto:cdsdisk    md_DG02     md_DG       online

    don't rely on the names st2540xxxxx, this name may be different on different nodes, you can run a /etc/vx/diag.d/vxscsiinq on good node to find serial number of below luns & make sure that same luns are visible to faulty node as well

  • Just did for the good node on the md_dg devices but I got no serial number...

    Is this expected...? this is the good node... I will try to get the list of LUNs visible on the faulty one now.

  • I would expect to get a serial number ... can you try the same with raw devices once

    Find raw device with "vxdisk -e list" & you would get the native name in right column ... you can then run a vxscsiinq on raw device with /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx number & see the serial number

  • Did as you told but no luck. Only for the disk at c0. Not for the c6 disk.

    I have tried to access the CAM to see these disks but the diskarray is out of commuication to the CAM.. maybe this is the problem?
