attempting to add a node while cluster is running

[VINCENT SPURGEON]

When attempting to add a node while the cluster is running, I receive the following:

"Error: One or more volume groups are activated in shared mode. We cannot do online node configuration. Please deactivate all SLVM VGs activated in shared mode before doing online node configuration."

Should I take that at "face value" and assume that I need to disable all the VG's that are shared, update my cluster config with the new node information, then re-share all the VG's?

thoughts? And as always, thanks for your help.

This looks like you have an SGeRAC cluster, usingLVM in Shared mode rather than Exclusive mode.
If so, you will need to halt the package to update the cluster with the new node.

Yes, you will need to deactivate all your shared VG's before proceeding. Dealing with Shared VG's is a different beast than exclusive mode.

Shalom Vincent,

Once again a meaningful error message.

Face value. At the very least stop the packages , deactivate the shared volume group prior to proceeding.
