JAGag45544: Open fails for the device /dev/vxfen, after removing and reinstalling a
Serviceguard Cluster File System (SG CFS) bundle.
• What is the problem? After removing a SG CFS bundle and later re-installing the same SG
CFS bundle on the same system, the cfscluster config command fails to join the cluster
and causes the node to TOC. The following error is reported in the SG CFS pkg.log file:
/sbin/vxfen-startup (exit=1) VXFEN vxfenconfig ERROR V-11-2-1002 Open failed for device: /dev/vxfen with
error 2
This is because the /dev/vxfen and /dev/vxfend devices are not created after the bundle
is re-installed, causing the SG-CFS-pkg to fail. After the node is rebooted, /dev/vxfen and
/dev/vxfend are created as part of the reboot process.This problem impacts the following
SG CFS bundles: T2775xx, T2776xx, T2777xx, T2795xx, T2796xx, and T2797xx.
• What is the workaround? After removing and re-installing the SG CFS bundle, reboot the
system manually.
Documentation Errata
The following describes known problems with documentation included with HP Serviceguard
Storage Management Suite Version A.02.00 and workarounds for them. This is subject to change
without notice.
Veritas man page Errata
Due to the unique integration of HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundles, errata
for Veritas man pages includes:
• man page: llttab
— What is the problem? Man page states the “llttab file must be managed by the System
Administrator”. In HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite environments
Serviceguard creates, distributes, and manages this file.
— What is the workaround? Ignore man page.
• man page: llthosts
— What is the problem? Man Page states the “llthosts file must be managed by the
System Administrator”. In HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite environments
Serviceguard creates, distributes, and manages this file.
— What is the workaround? Ignore man page.
• man page: gabconfig
— What is the problem? In HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite environments
Serviceguard creates, distributes, and manages gab configuration. Most options for this
command are not needed.
— What is the workaround? Ignore man page.
• man page: gabdiskhb
— What is the problem? In HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite environments gab
heartbeat disks are not applicable.
— What is the workaround? Ignore man page.
• man page: dbed_vmsnap
— What is the problem? man page says to “Freeze/Unfreeze” the resource group.
— What is the workaround? For HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundles, use
equivalent Serviceguard functionality to start/stop the appropriate package.
