INACTIVE 2 The volume group is inactive. This could be
because:
• The volume group is active in exclusive
mode on another node in an ServiceGuard
cluster. (This is not valid for clusters
running ServiceGuard Extension for
RAC, because it can support a volume
group being active on more than one
node.) Note that ServiceGuard does allow
a volume group to be active in read-only
mode, if it is already active on another
node.
• The volume group is made inactive using
vgchange -a n for maintenance or other
reasons.
• There is no quorum of active physical
volumes at system boot. For example, not
enough disks in the volume group were
working.
INACTIVE_
DOWN
3 The last time the inactive volume was
activated, it was DOWN. At least one logical
volume in the volume was inaccessible.
DOWN 4 At least one logical volume in the volume
group reports a status of either INACTIVE or
DOWN. Note that an inactive logical volume in
an active volume group is rare, but possible.
See “Logical Volume Status” on page 35.
