Cmquery

[wayne_104]

Hi

I have inherited a cluster. I am trying to do a cmquery to rebuild the ascii file.

However i get the below errors.

I have varified that the cmnodelist exists in /etc/cmcluster.

there are entries in ~/.rhosts
the /etc/hosts file is correct.

I have checked the inetd thing telneted on telnet localhost 5302 got response.

there is no logs in /var/adm syslog.

what does cmquery do when Gathering network information?

cmquerycl -v -k -C /etc/cmcluster/cmclconfig.ascii -n alsmp1 -n alsmp2

"Rebuild the ASCII file"? Why can't you simply use the cmgetconf command to get an ASCII version of the current cluster configuration?

i was trying to get to an aggregated network but when i modified the current ascii file and did a check came back with errors.

So decided to do a cmquerycl to see if it could give me some idea of what the problem may be. BTW i am at patch level september 2010.

why it is trying to compare VG00 in both the nodes..Looks liek you have put vg00 in the package ASCII file. Please get this removed and try again.

hi
I am trying to create the ascii file.
cmquerycl -v -k -C /etc/cmcluster/cmclconfig.ascii -n alsmp1 -n alsmp2.

the vg00 drives are local drives on each node.

Hi,
The problem here is "The volume group /dev/vg00 is activated on more than one node". SO you should first correct this error. Possibly on both hosts VGID of vg00 are same.Did you use dd or bcv of vg00 on the later host? If yes then you should go to LVM maintenance mode and run vgchid command.

Hi

As i Said inherited this system so not sure what they did.

But those can be discarded as errors as the cluster is up and running and no problems exist surly?

Hi,
Check on both hosts for VGID:

# vgexport -s -v -p -m vg00.map vg00 1>/dev/null 2>&1 ; grep VGID vg00.map

[wayne_104]

Looks like they the same so they must have done a dd or mirrored disk.


node 1 VGID fff8f11f4756d4a3

node 2 VGID fff8f11f4756d4a3

I think you should go with vgchid...
