    I only have access to a 5.1 system.  5.0 has limited support so there are not many customers still running this - see https://sort.symantec.com/eosl/show_matrix:

    Product Version Platform Country End of Support
    Life Date    		 End of Limited Support Date Release Date
    Storage Foundation for UNIX/Linux 5.0 MP3 Solaris Worldwide 2014-08-31 2012-06-07 2008-10-06
    Solaris x86-64 Worldwide 2014-08-31 2012-06-07 2008-10-06

    AIX Worldwide 2014-08-31 2012-06-07 2008-10-06

    So it is quite likely that VCS 6.0 was not tested with vxvm 5.0 which could be why vxvm is shutting down before VCS or it could be you have some obsolete rc scripts.

    As before, I would shut VCS down manually before rebooting system which is good practice in any case, even after you have upgraded vxvm to 6.0 - i.e if you are shutting down node A, then you should manually switch service groups to node B (to ensure they online successfully on node B before shutting down node A), or offline groups if you are shutting both nodes down.

Hi Mike,

I also have SMF vxvm services :

# svcs -a | egrep 'vx|vcs|gab|llt'
legacy_run     Jan_26   lrc:/etc/rc2_d/S70vxatd
legacy_run     Jan_26   lrc:/etc/rc2_d/S750vxpal_gridnode

Do you have somewhere such combination, I would really like to know, do I need the rc scripts or not, to me, as you already confirmed, it looks like they are obsolete?

I have :

# pkginfo -l VRTSvxvm VRTSvcs | egrep 'NAME|VERS'
      NAME:  Veritas Cluster Server by Symantec
   VERSION:  6.0.100.000
      NAME:  Binaries for VERITAS Volume Manager by Symantec
   VERSION:  5.0,REV=05.11.2006.17.55
#

 

THANKS A LOT !

Cheers
