Veritas InfoScale™ 7.4.3 Release Notes - Linux

VxVM site for the disk group remains detached after node reboot in campus clusters with fire drill [1919317]

When you bring the DiskGroupSnap resource online, the DiskGroupSnap agent detaches the site from the target disk group defined. The DiskGroupSnap agent invokes VCS action entry points to run VxVM commands to detach the site. These commands must be run on the node where the disk group is imported, which is at the primary site.

If you attempt to shut down the node where the fire drill service group or the disk group is online, the node goes to a LEAVING state. The VCS engine attempts to take all the service groups offline on that node and rejects all action entry point requests. Therefore, the DiskGroupSnap agent cannot invoke the action to reattach the fire drill site to the target disk group. The agent logs a message that the node is in a leaving state and then removes the lock file. The agent's monitor function declares that the resource is offline. After the node restarts, the disk group site still remains detached. [1272012]

Workaround:

You must take the fire drill service group offline using the hagrp -offline command before you shut down the node or before you stop VCS locally.

If the node has restarted, you must manually reattach the fire drill site to the disk group that is imported at the primary site.

If the secondary node has crashed or restarted, you must manually reattach the fire drill site to the target disk group that is imported at the primary site using the following command: /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/hares -action $targetres joindg -actionargs $fdsitename $is_fenced -sys $targetsys.
