ascii file generated with cmgetconf fails with cmapplyconf

[VINCENT SPURGEON]

I created an ascii config file using:
cmgetconf -c OracleCluster cmclconfig.vince

When I try to apply the same file without changes, I get the following:
cmapplyconf -v -k -C cmclconfig.vince

Checking cluster file: cmclconfig.vince

Error: Volume Group /dev/vgXXXX is not found on any nodes in the cluster.
cmapplyconf : Unable to reconcile configuration file cmclconfig.vince
with discovered configuration information.

All the volume groups are active and in use either by one or all the nodes in the cluster. However, they all show up as "not found on any nodes in the cluster." ???

The cluster is a 3 node cluster.

Any thoughts or direction would be helpful. Thaks.

shalom,

Amazing!

A meaningful error message from the OS.

Check the configuration file and see what volume group it is referring to.

Find out its status and whether or not it exists on your system. See about making corrections to the VG and making sure it is visible to those nodes that need to see it.

It could be a typo, or it could be a bug that needs a fix.

What version of SG? Do you have it patched?

Vincent,

I would think that besides checking your vg in the conf file mak sure that one of the server has the VG active in exclusive mode.

I hope it helps

If cmgetconf created the ascii config file, wouldn't it be correct from the start? I performed no edits to the file.

Since packages control the activation of the volume groups, would it be possible just to remove the entries from the cmclconfig.vince ascii file then cmapplyconf?

Would this effect the running cluster in any way?

[VINCENT SPURGEON]

Problem solved. Errors went away when I stopped using the "-k" option. Thanks.

[VINCENT SPURGEON]

stopped using the "-k" option.

[Juan M Leon]

Ok so you are using the a new ascii file that was created from a running. Did you stop the cluster before applying this newconfig. I believe if a current cluster isrunning and you are using a second conf file that uses the same devices you will get the errors. cluster have to beoffline or use different devices.
