Problem Symptom Solution
Quorum partitions not set
up correctly
Messages indicating that a
quorum partition cannot be
accessed appear in the log
file
Run the cludiskutil -t
command to check that the
quorum partitions are accessi-
ble. If the command succeeds,
run the cludiskutil -p
command on both cluster
systems. If the output is
different on the systems, the
quorum partitions do not point
to the same devices on both
systems. Check to make sure
that the raw devices exist and
are correctly specified in the
/etc/sysconfig/rawde-
vices file. See Configuring
Quorum Partitions in Section
2.4.4 for more information.
These messages could also
indicate that yes was not
chosen when prompted by the
cluconfig utility to initialize the
quorum partitions. To correct
this problem, run the utility
again.
Cluster service operation
fails
Messages indicating the
operation failed to appear
on the console or in the log
file
There are many different reasons for
the failure of a service operation (for
example, a service stop or start). To
help identify the cause of the problem,
set the severity level for the cluster
daemons to
debug in order to log
descriptive messages. Then, retry the
operation and examine the log file.
See Section 8.6, Modifying Cluster
Event Logging for more information.
