cmgetconf error - Config diffrence

[Dan Hoyt]

Anyone know a quick way to determine what's diffrent between the two volume groups? Keep in mind this is the VG that fails over between servers.

Warning: Volume group /dev/emfcomvg is configured differently on node dbqcomp1 than on node dbqcomp3
Warning: Volume group /dev/emfcomvg is configured differently on node dbqcomp3 than on node dbqcomp1

a simple quick check would be to check the entries in the /dev/emfcomvg directory.

They should be identical. All the same entries for the logical volumes.

Be sure to check the major and minor number entries for the LV's too

[Dan Hoyt]

There the same. Any other ideas?

do a strings /etc/lvmtab on each node and compare that. it sounds like you may be mising alternate links on one node
