VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-587

I used command:

vxdg -s import disk1

to import the disk group as shared. But I got the error message:

VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-587 Disk group disk1: import failed: Operation must be executed on master

How do I know which node is the master node? I tried this command on both cluster nodes and got the same error. What could be wrong?

    Correct. You said you have CLuster Server, Volume Manager and File System. Master is used with Cluster Volume Manager and you do not have that product so you cannot enable its capabilities.

    Also, Michelle, when a question is answered, you are the one who is supposed to mark it "answered". You can also award points for correct answers if you choose to do so. That is what makes those orange and green light bulbs next to some questions.

    It appears to be part of Storage Foundation Cluster File System. I am a VM/VCS/GCO/VVR instructor, not a sales person so I don't keep up with product names from a marketing/sales perspective.

    I see.

    Does Storage Foundation Cluster File System require a separate license from VCS, VXVM and VXFS?

    Does Storage Foundation Enterprise HA have Cluster Voume Manager too?

    SFCFS includes many of the components you have. SFEnterpriseHA does not include CVM/CFS.

    I know little about licensing or sales of products. I deliver technical information. You need to talk to sales.
