Starting of package on node hp02

[jamshed]

When i try to start my package on node2, next message appeared.
What does it mean?

As per the log message, another node has the vg activated, and as this is a cluster aware vg, it can only be activated one one node at a time.
De-activate it on the other node, but more importantly check the package log on the other node to see why it did not get deactivated automatically, or if someone manualy activated the vg while the package was down.

Hi Jamshed,

The error indicates that the vgu00 was already activated in hp01 (another node).

Unmounted the filesystem of vgu00 on hp01.
Deactivated the vgu00
# vgchange -a n /dev/vgu00

Now start the package in hp02.

You should also check the cluster log/syslog.log in hp01 why it didn't unmount/deactivate the vgu00.
