Hello,
I have a serious problem with the following sun cluster - EMC configuration:
Hardware:
2 x Sun Fire V490 with sun fibre channel adapter (x6768a similar with qlogic 2342)
EMC DMX 801
We connected directly the sun servers to DMX box. We would like to use the following software architecture:
Solaris 9 09/04
SAN foundation package
original QLC driver stack on the HBAs.
Veritas Volume Manager 4.0 MP1
Veritas File systems 4.0 MP1
Power Path 4.3.0 or 4.3.1
Time Finder..
Sun cluster 3.1 update 3
Both the local SUN and "EMC partner" officially said that this configuration is supported by both company!!!
But when I installed these softwares I got the following problems:
After installed Solaris, SFS, QLC, sun cluster 3.1 packages and patches I took out from the cluster install mode to normal mode. I configured quorum disk to EMC disks. It looked everything okay. After I installed vxvm 4.0 via scvxinstall and encapsule boot disk. It was okay. I put on the power path 4.3.0. I use native device all level. After reboot the vxvm doesn't work properly. The system goes to maintenance mode because vxvm can't start special volumes (ex. var, swap volumes). The error message is the following:
VXVM INFO V-5-2-3247 starting special volumes ( swapvol rootvol var ORCL rootdg_17vol )...
/dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/swapvol: No such device or address
...
The /var file system (/dev/vx/rdsk/bootdg/var ) is being checked.
Can't open /dev/vx/rdsk/bootdg/var
/dev/vx/rdsk/bootdg/var: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM.
...
Entering system MAintenance mode
After I removed power path, unencapsulated the boot disk, and encapsulated again. It was good until the next reboot... After the error turned out again.
The suppliers can't tell me any useful technical information.
I think they would like to obsolate their qualification, because the customer has already paid...
Does anybody any idea?
