Can i add a new package even if there are errors in cmcheckconf???

[Fenny_1]

Hi All,
When am doing cmcheckconf it's reporting some problems related to LVM. Is it possible that i can add a new package in cluster while having these errors??

Your urgent response on this is highly apreciated. Thanks in advance

[Torsten.]

Probably not.
I would recommend to solve the problems first anyway.

I dont think so, because when you do a cmapplyconf, it again verifies the configuration before actually applying it. So the only way is to correct the errors and then apply the configuration.

Regards,
Ninad

Shalom,

You can add them but they won't run until the errors are resolved. So the real answer is no.

Depends on errors, send us the output....

I would appreciate if someone help me to rectify the errors as well

[Stanimir]

So, sorry to say that, but your cluster
is not configured appropriatelly ,I thing.

Anyway, if you say, that it working, try:

#cmcheckconf -v -P .conf

And if you dont have errors:
#cmapplyconf -v -P .conf

to add the package to cluster.

.keep the VG active on primary node with cluster aware(vgchnage -c y vgname;vgchnage -a y). Keep the Vg(same name as primary) just cluster aware on the alternate nodes.make sure you are importing the VGs on the alternate nodes with the latest information from primary node.

update the package directory sync with primary on all alternate nodes.
