    here is what you can do to determine the root cause of the issue.

    1, stop VCS and manually import the dg as a local dg by running

    vxdg -Cf import <dg_name>  (run the commmand on one node only)

    2.  start up the volumes by running

    vxvol -g <dg_name> startall 

    3. manually mount the file system in question with mount command

    mount -v /dev/vx/dsk/dg/vol /mnt_point     (https://sort.veritas.com/public/documents/vie/7.1/linux/productguides/html/sfcfs_admin/ch09s07.htm

    4. if the mount command failed, run the command below

    fstyp -v /dev/vx/dsk/dg/vol | head -50   (post the output here)

    5. if the output of step 4 looks ok but unable to mount, create a new temp mount point then mount the fifle system to the new temp mount point.

     

    PS - make sure that yjr file system disk layout version of the volumes are supported by the Veritas version running on the cluster  (that is the storage is not newly allocated to this cluster from another system which runs a newer version of Veritas).

    for disk layout version and storage foundation version support info matrix, please visit and search Veritas online KB.
