Warning messagge with cmcheckconf

Marcelo De Florio_1 — Mon, 30 Jul 2001 17:17:14 GMT

Warning: The disk at /dev/dsk/c5t1d0 on node s2500a does not have an ID, or a disk label.

Warning: Disks which do not have IDs cannot be included in the topology descript ion.
Use pvcreate(1m) to give a disk an ID.

Anybody know this ?

cmcheckconf queries all disks connected to the cluster node. If it finds non-LVM disks (i.e. disks that don't have an LVM header since pvcreate(1m) has not been executed on them), your warning message will be printed.

When you have many non-LVM disks, you can get tons of these messages, but you can safely ignore them. A "fix" (this is not a bug) does not exist for this message.

A common "symptom" that is NOT a bug. It just tells you you have discs that have not had pvcreate run on them, and typically these will be CDROM drives, DVD's etc, but will also include any disc that you have not done pvcreate on.
