the cntl file in the
#VxVM_DG and #LV[0] etc.

Can some body help me.

Shalom,

Need some info:
SG version:

swlist -l product | grep -i serviceguard

The log file
The package script.

If the SG version supports it, its likely an error in the package control script or patches are needed.

I think I've a problem with packet.cntl script, because I can mount vxvm dg manually , but not with cmrunpkg.
thanks

Hi,

By which comand do you activate the volume group?
Is the comand the same, which you have in *cntl file ?

vxdg import msa30dg
vxvol -g msa30dg startall
in the last step the command is waiting for something.
VXVOL="vxvol -g \$DiskGroup -o bg startall"modify

but the problem is still there.

thanks
Alf.

I only modify the cntl file but not created again the control file, but
thees commands are type in console mode, not in the script, they will be work as well.( My SG version is 11.15.)

provide the contents of the control script, but leave of everything after the customer_defined_halt_functions.
Provide the package log.
Has this ever worked, and you have now made changes? or is this an intial config?
What SG patch are you using? do:
what /usr/lbin/cmcld |grep PHSS and post the ouptut

I post the info.
The packet is not new, this is a packet mix,
mix with LVM&VxVM. I only need to add VxVM disk to this packet.

thanks.

Alfonso,

Can you manually run those 4 VxVM commands ? The log does not seem to be verbose enough to show where it is having a problem.

Also, hav eyou actually tried :

VXVOL="vxvol -g \$DiskGroup -o bg startall

instead of what seem to be your default active one in the script which is:

VXVOL="vxvol -g \$DiskGroup startall" # Default

manually I run the following command

vxdg import MyDgName result import ok (vxdg list )

vxvol -g MyDgName startall and I also try with option -o bg but this command never end. I think I need some patch?.Because for some reason this is where the packet hang.
