JAGaf71623 (SR8606411758): Aborting! Bad election
state handling node failure
What was the problem? Under rare circumstances, cmcld may abort with
the following message:
Bad election state handling node failure
What was the resolution? Added handling the valid election state.
JAGaf71616 (SR8606411751): Use of /etc/cmcluster/rc
in /sbin/init.d/cmcluster is undocumented
What was the problem? For the purpose of the /etc/cmcluster/rc
directory, how it can be used and who can use it needs to be documented
in the Serviceguard documentation.
What was the resolution? Added to the A.11.17 Managing Serviceguard
manual in several places. For example:
NOTE: This directory is reserved for use by HP applications.
Do not move, alter, delete or add files to the following:
/etc/cmcluster/rc in HPUX
${SGCONF}/rc in LINUX
JAGaf71426 (SR8606411561): Applications start before
CVM recovery is completed
What was the problem? In a CVM configuration, the SG package scripts
are run prior to the completion of the CVM startup. Specifically, the
VxVM-CVM-pkg script completes. This causes the SG packages to start;
however, the vxrecover process initiated by the VxVM-CVM-pkg has not
completed its recovery, therefore CVM disk groups used in packages may
not be ready to use. Messages will appear in the package log. The error
messages will vary based on the types of packages which are accessing
disk groups.
