While running cmcheckconf, getting Error: Device is not found on any nodes in the cluster.

[Jim Krol]

I have taken over administration of a 2-node cluster (HP-UX 11.0, model K220) running
version A.11.09 of MC/Service Guard.

Whenever to try to do a cmcheckconf on the existing or a new cmclconfig.ascii file, I always get the following error and the cmclconfig binary will not build:
" Error: Device is not found on any nodes in the cluster.
cmcheck.conf : Unable to reconcile configuration file /etc/cmcluster/cmclconfig.ascii
with discovered configuration information."

I have no idea "which" device it is having conflict with?

Any suggestions?

Basically checkconf is using an ioscan do compare with the devices listed in your .ascii file. Without it listing which device its having trouble finding (does using the -v option reveal this ?) then you will have to check every device. Look in the .ascii file, grep out every /dev/dsk entry and compare with an ioscan -fknCdisk and try to establish whats not matching up. If its not in the ioscan results it shouldnt be in the .ascii file.

I am going to guess here, but all discs in the cluster are connected to both nodes???
uyou need PHSS_21866
see symptom 3 in the portion describing the superseded patch PHSS_20230 in the patch text file.

I support Melvyn idea. Check patches.
How long is this error occuring? Is the env. still running?
