error on activation of volume
activation_check:
Error vg_files may still be activated on ota2
To correct this situation, logon to "ota2" and
execute the following commands:
vgchange -a n vg_files
vgchange --deltag ota2 vg_files
Once "vg_files" has been deactivated from "ota2",
this package may be restarted via either cmmodpkg(1M)
or cmrunpkg(1M).
In the event that "ota2" is either powered off
or unable to boot, then "vg_files" must be forced
to be activated on this node.
******************* WARNING ***************************
Forcing activation can lead to data corruption if
"ota2" is still running and has "vg_files"
active. It is imperitive to positively determine that
"ota2" is not running prior to performing
this operation.
*******************************************************
To force activate "vg_files", execute the following
command on the local system:
vgchange --deltag ota2 vg_files
The package may then be restarted via either
cmmodpkg(1M) or cmrunpkg(1M) commands.
=============================================

Re: error on activation of volume
hemm, your are right. actually i allready check if it still being used. but i am confident that the partition is not being used. this is because the other node who has the tag is shutdown.
this problem only occure if i force shutdown by directly push the power button.
do you know why. thanks in advance.
regards,
rex_33

Re: error on activation of volume
When a package starts, if the volume group has a tag which indicates it may be owned by another node the package uses cmviewcl to get the status of that other node. If the status shows failed then we know the node failed and clear the tag, activate the volume group and the package starts up.
However, if the status is something else then we do not really know what is going on and you get the message you saw indicating manual intervention.
Therefore I would ask how you failed the server and what cmviewcl showed for the node you failed. My guess is that it does not show failed as in this example here:
# cmviewcl
CLUSTER STATUS
flowerpot up
NODE STATUS STATE
ben down failed
bill up running
Could the node have been booting back and automatically re-joining the cluster? You really need to check the cmviewcl node status when the package starts to see what is going wrong here.
It would be good if the Serviceguard package scripts logged the status when it failed so it would help troubleshoot issues like yours. I have had this problem before. Therefore I have logged an enhancement request which has number QXCR1000772515 for when this becomes customer viewable.
Anyway, try again and check the node status and this should explain why the package does not start up automatically. It must have status failed for this to happen.

Re: error on activation of volume
ok, thanks. i run cmviewcl -v on that day. actually (sorry.....) i did'nt capture it. but i am sure that it was showing that the cluster is up but the package is not.
about deltag you said. that is exactly what i want to ask. does the serviceguard delete the tag of other node who is owning the vg if that node is inaccessible or dead. or we have to do it manualy.
i only know how the work of mounting/unmounting of serviceguard while still in normal halt/shutdown condition.

Re: error on activation of volume
If the node status shows as "failed" then Serviceguard will remove the tag automatically. If it does not show "failed" it will not remove the tag and you will have to do this manually.
This is why we need to know what cmviewcl showed for the node status of the node you force shutdown.

Re: error on activation of volume
should the problem reappear i now what the cause of this. mainly because the other node failed to check the failed status.
thanks for the comment. i think i will close this thread.
