Have you been here:

http://www.hp.com/go/SGSMS/patches

And made sure *all* the patches in the reccomended patch bundle for 11iv3 (at the bottom of the page) are installed?

Hi,
Can you try starting the cluster after creating the following file:

"/etc/vxfenmode"

#####################################
#
# vxfen configuration file
#
vxfen_mode=customized
vxfen_mechanism=sg
vxfen_protocol_version=2
#####################################

This file has to be created on all the nodes. Let me know if this works.
Regards,
Amit

I agree with Duncan... most of the startup problems with SG-CFS-pkg can be traced to incomplete patching. Please reference the site that he directed you to and if you believe you patched completely, verify that all of the patches installed correctly, on EVERY node in the cluster.
