All the other than vg00 not activating. Pls help.

After a power outage , and system restart found allthe vgs are not activated .

Here is the error got in syslog & EMS:

=========================

/opt/resmon/bin/resdata -R 111935490 -r /adapters/events/TL_adapter/0_10_0_0 -n 111935489 -a

CURRENT MONITOR DATA:

Event Time..........: Thu Dec 15 19:40:17 2005
Severity............: SERIOUS
Monitor.............: dm_TL_adapter
Event #.............: 23
System..............: torhpm01.ca-chq.celestica.com

Summary:
Adapter at hardware path 0/10/0/0 : Fibre Channel driver has gone into
non-participating mode


Description of Error:


lbolt value: 7982

The Fibre Channel Driver has gone into non-participating mode
Frame Manager Status Register = 0xa0084480


Probable Cause / Recommended Action:

A cable or hardware problem exists. This can also be caused due
to the Tachyon TL adapter changing its AL_PA across a LIP.
Do the following:
1. Verify that the fiber optic cable is functional and securely
attached to the Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter.
2. After checking the cabling, execute a loopback test using
fcmsutil.
Command syntax is as follows:
/opt/fcms/bin/fcmsutil lb plm
If the problem persists after verifying fiber optic cabling,
replace the adapter

Re: All the other than vg00 not activating. Pls help.

Feel the message is quite self-explanatory. So...

- Check the fiber connections
- do a loopback test
And if the problem persists have the adapter replaced by an HP engineer.

You could also try to do an :
fcmsutil reset
To reset the HBA and see if that clears up the problem.

And don't forget to install the latest fiberchannel and SCSI patches.

If the luns can be seen when you do an ioscan, the problem might already have disappeared, but you might just need to activate the volumegroups first.

For non-ServiceGuard volumegroups, you can use # vgchange -a y

And I think it was a
# vgchange -a e
In case you *do* have MC/Serviceguard.

Hi,

Look into this patch and install it. Open a Case with HP if you have HP support on this.

PHSS_31326 for 11.11: http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/patchDocDisplay.do?patchId=PHSS_31326

PHSS_33065 for 11.0: http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/patchDocDisplay.do?patchId=PHSS_33065

Make sure if you are instaling the patch, you take care of the dependencies.

Look into "SR:8606261432 CR:JAGae25753".

Hope this helps.
