diskgroup resource failed to online in a VCS environment with "failed to import with groupreserve option as scsi3pr is disabled"

ddh
Level 3

Hi,

I have a two node cluster. I am trying to create a simple service group with VxFS on VxVM. I have followed the steps outlined in http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH20539

When I try to bring the service group online, the diskgroup would fail to import with "groupreserve option as scsi3pr is disabled". I've checked the diskgroup for scsi3-pr compliance with the vxfentsthdw utility. It is passing as shown below.

 

Can you please tell me how can I enable scsi3pr on the diskgroup so it can online successfully.

 

Thanks,

David

The utility vxfentsthdw works on the two nodes of the cluster.
The utility verifies that the shared storage one intends to use is
configured to support I/O fencing.  It issues a series of vxfenadm
commands to setup SCSI-3 registrations on the disk, verifies the
registrations on the disk, and removes the registrations from the disk.

The logfile generated for vxfentsthdw is /var/VRTSvcs/log/vxfen/vxfentsthdw.log.10882

From the message, it loks like SCSI3-PR is disabled on the system

You can verify it from

# cat /etc/vx/volboot | grep scsi3_pr

 

If you find it ias off, enable SCSI3-PR with following command.

# vxdctl scsi3pr on

Now clear the fault and online the resource again.

 

Just for clarity,

After the Error message "Diskgroup [datadg] failed to import with groupreserve option as scsi3pr is disabled." another Info message should appear as follows.

Enable the scsi3pr option and retry online. To enable scsi3pr run the command [vxdctl scsi3pr on].

Do you have this message in your engine log?

Thanks! My resources can come online after I enabled the scsi3-pr on the system with "vxdctl scsi3pr on"

Hi,

The solution shown above does not seem to persist across reboots. After I reboot the system, "scsi3_pr off" reappeared in /etc/vx/volboot. Is that a normal behavior?  How can I make it persist across reboots?

 

Thanks in advance for you help.

Hi,

The scsi3pr value will be persistent in volboot file. Need to check if there is any script that is setting it to disabled after reboot.  Is there any such command in /etc/vx/log/cmdlog that during boot time “vxdctl scsi3pr off”?

Also compare the /etc/vx/volboot file before and after setting it the scsi3pr to on, before reboot and after reboot to rule out any case where the updations is failing.

Hi Sajith,

The command log does shows that there are "vxdctl scsi3pr off" commands. Where can I look to find the startup scripts for VCS that disables this. Is there any commands to run that may remove this setting from the startup scripts?

Thanks!!! Really appreciate your help!!!

Hi,

VCS start up scripts do not disable scsi3pr settings.

I recommend to post this question on VxVM forum.
