lock is corrupt, will repair
This transitional state occurs after the SDMP has detected that the SANlock has
been corrupted but before it has repaired the SANlock.
trying to lock (lock is corrupt, will repair)
The host on which mxsanlk was run is trying to acquire the SANlock. The
SANlock was corrupted but will be repaired.
locked (lock is corrupt, will repair)
The host on which mxsanlk was run holds the lock. The SANlock was corrupted
but will be repaired.
If a membership partition cannot be accessed, use the mxmpconf program to correct
the problem.
When you invoke mxsanlk, it checks for the Storage Device Monitor Pulse (SDMP)
process. This process is responsible for grabbing and maintaining the locks on the
membership partitions. Depending on the status of the SDMP process, you may see
one of the following messages:
Checking for SDMP activity, please wait...
Still trying...
The SDSMP is inactive at this host.
The SDMP appears to be inactive at this host.
If the SDMP process is not responding on the host, wait a few seconds and retry the
command. If the command continues to fail, shut down the cluster and then restart
it. This step should restart the SDMP process. If you continue to have problems, contact
HP Technical Support.
Manage membership partitions
Matrix Server provides the following utilities for managing membership partitions,
including adding new partitions, replacing existing partitions, and resilvering corrupt
partitions.
• The Storage Settings tab on the Configure Cluster window contains options to
add, repair, or replace membership partitions. These options can be used while
the cluster is either online or offline. However, when the cluster is running, only
the operations listed below can be performed. The remove option can be used
only when Matrix Server is offline on all nodes.
• The mx config mp commands can be used to add, repair, or replace member-
ship partitions. These commands can be used while the cluster is either online or
offline, with the limitations described below for online operations.
