Hello there,
We have recently setup 2 M9000 nodes with the following configuration
Sun Cluster 3.2 Update 3 + Infiniband heartbeat
Solaris 10 Update 11 + MPxIO
Veritas Volume Manageer CVM 5.1 SP1 RP3 P2
VSP storage, data disk group by true copy
We have a total of 9 disk groups, disk group 1-7 are relatively "small", each have several hundred volumes, disk group 8 have 1300 volumes, disk group have more than 5000 volumes.
This software configuration works normal in the old E25k servers(We didn't install rp3 in this server and OS is sol10u8+eis 2010/10), when we reboot any node, the CVM slave node join process only takes less than 10 minutes which is accpetable, though generating some messages as the new environment. When we copied data from the old data to the new storage by HDS true copy, this M9000 slave node join process takes extremely longer time which is almost 4 hours.
If we only tried to import disk group 1-8, this slave join process of CVM_Step4 only took 1 minute and generated few error messages. However, when we imported disk group 9 on the master and rebooted the slave node, the slave node join took 4 hours again. This seems to be the problem of the big sized disk group.
typical error messages:

vxclust process of step4 hang there for 4 hours and rac-framework-rs waited the error messages to an end for the same time. All the msg_cfg_object messages only shows in the slave node. After that, the 2 nodes become normal, all data can be mounted by Oracle RAC.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
