Package start-problem on some nodes (network not initialized)

[dark-sun]

Hello,
while trying to start the package on another node (this works before, maybe something changed ?), I get this messages.

Also when I try to mount the VG readonly, following messages appear:

vgchange: Notice: Couldn't attach to the volume group physical volume "/dev/dsk/c62t0d5":
The physical volume is not accessible as the network has not yet been initialized.

In /etc/lvmtab the disk is visible, also the device file is in place:

# ll /dev/dsk/c130t0d5
brw-r----- 1 bin sys 31 0x820500 Apr 24 15:01 /dev/dsk/c130t0d5

# strings /etc/lvmtab | grep /dev/dsk/c130t0d5
/dev/dsk/c130t0d5

I find another topic and hint about Patch PHCO_35955, this patch is installed.
We have HPUX 11.11

Thanks for help!

Dark-Sun,

Go back and look at the logs. You have a cluster problem on this box.
Provide the log from /etc/cmcluster/EMMA/emma.cntl.log.

Basically it sounds like it is saying the volume group is still being held onto elsewhere, so it's can't come up exclusively (vgchange -a e) on this box.
Did the package stop cleanly on the first server? Provide the logs showing how it shut down...

Hello Rita,
actuall the package is running on another node, started there without a problem.

So, I think I should mount the VG in read-only mode also on the problem server now for test purpose (vgchange -a r ...),
but this failed still.

vgchange: Notice: Couldn't attach to the volume group physical volume "/dev/dsk/c134t0d5":
The physical volume is not accessible as the network has not yet
been initialized.

...
...
vgchange: Notice: Couldn't activate volume group "/dev/vgemma":
The activation of the volume group will be retried later in the startup sequence after the network is initialized.


Also the "problem" node is running fine:
NODE STATUS STATE
rbgs412x up running

Was a problem with disks, changed.
No network problem!
