solaris iscsi for vcs fencing vxfentst getting failed

root@node1 # vxfentsthdw 
 
Veritas vxfentsthdw version 5.1SP1 Solaris
 
 
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.
 
 
******** WARNING!!!!!!!! ********
 
THIS UTILITY WILL DESTROY THE DATA ON THE DISK!! 
 
Do you still want to continue : [y/n] (default: n) y
The logfile generated for vxfentsthdw is /var/VRTSvcs/log/vxfen/vxfentsthdw.log.4914
 
Enter the first node of the cluster:
node1
Enter the second node of the cluster:
node2
 
Enter the disk name to be checked for SCSI-3 PGR on node node1 in the format:
        for dmp: /dev/vx/rdmp/cxtxdxs2
        for raw: /dev/rdsk/cxtxdxs2
Make sure its the same disk as seen by nodes node1 and node2

Hello,

few days back there was a thread for vxfentsthdw script causing node hang

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/sfcfsrac-vxfentsthdw-script-causes-node-hang-when-configure-io-fencing

the thread is for different issue & different platform though, I would suggest to run same checks as mentioned in above link...  both the threads show problem at same layer

In your case, read/write/reserve test is getting passed from node1 however at the same time node2 is also able to write that is why last test seems to be failed .... could be possible that you might need to land opening a support case...

thanks gaurav for the reply

 

anyone on the forum have tried using solaris zfs volumes as iscsi for vcs fensing and data disks

One more thing, what is the fencing mode you are using ?

 

I see the VCS install guide

The coordinator disks can be raw devices, DMP devices, or iSCSI devices.
You must use DMP disk policy for iSCSI-based coordinator disks.
