Description
When creating the L-Server, the following message is displayed, and creation of the L-Server may fail.
FJSVrcx:ERROR:62511:failed to control obj. IF=%1, message="ERROR:ssmgr3419:The specified alias name has already been registered." |
In obj, the resource name of the storage management software is displayed.
In %1, the internal function name is displayed.
Creation of the L-Server failed because the alias name of the affinity group has already been defined when ETERNUS storage was created.
Corrective Action
Using the following procedure, identify the overlapping affinity group, delete the affinity group and the Volume defined in the affinity group, and then create the L-Server again.
Check the resource name of the unused address set resource (WWN) with the smallest number.
Execute the following command:
> Installation_folder\Manager\bin\rcxadm addrset show -name Resource_name_of_the_Address_Set_Resource(WWN) <RETURN> |
Identify the unused address set resource (WWN) with the smallest number.
The range of the "start" and "end" inside the AddressSet tag becomes the range of the Address set resource (WWN).
In the range of address set resources (WWN), all addresses other than those below are considered unused address set resources (WWN).
Addresses which are not used for management by Resource Orchestrator, and are displayed in the Exclude tag
Addresses which have been allocated, and are displayed in the Reserve tag
From the unused address set resources, identify the one with the smallest number.
Example
When the output result is the one below, the resource name of the unused address set resource (WWN) with the smallest number will be "20:01:00:17:42:50:00:02".
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AddressSet name="wwndata1" id="540" label="wwn1" subnet="" mask="" start="20:01:00:17:42:50:00:00" end="20:01:00:17:42:50:00:0f">
<Comment>wwn-test-data-1</Comment>
<Exclude>
20:01:00:17:42:50:00:00
</Exclude>
<Reserve>
20:01:00:17:42:50:00:01
</Reserve>
</AddressSet>

Identify the alias name of the affinity group created when creating ETERNUS storage during L-Server creation.
Extract the characters corresponding to "XX" below from the resource name of the unused address set resource (WWN) with the smallest number. These characters become the alias name of the affinity group created when creating ETERNUS storage.
"YY:XX:YY:YY:YY:XX:XX:XX" |
Example
For "20:01:00:17:42:50:00:02" it would be "01500002".
Identify the affinity group to delete.
Execute the following command to display the affinity groups of each ETERNUS storage that is managed using ESC.
> ESC_manager_installation_folder\Manager\opt\FJSVssmgr\sbin\storageadm affinity info -ipaddr ETERNUS_IP_address <RETURN> |
Check if the alias name of the affinity group identified in 2. is included in the affinity group alias names displayed in "NAME".
If the alias name is included, the relevant affinity group will be the target of deletion.
If the alias name is not included, collect troubleshooting data, and contact Fujitsu technical staff.
Identify the volume to delete.
Execute the following command to display the volume numbers of each Volume defined in the affinity group identified in 3.
> ESC_manager_installation_folder\Manager\opt\FJSVssmgr\sbin\storageadm affinity info -ipaddr ETERNUS_IP_address -affinitygroup Affinity_group_number <RETURN> |
The Volume with the volume number matching that displayed in "Volume" becomes the target of deletion.
Deletes the affinity group.
Execute the following command to delete the affinity group identified in 3.
> ESC_manager_installation_folder\Manager\opt\FJSVssmgr\sbin\storageadm affinity delete -ipaddr ETERNUS_IP_address -affinitygroup Affinity_group_number <RETURN> |
Deletes Volume.
Execute the following command to delete the Volume identified in 4.
> ESC_manager_installation_folder\Manager\opt\FJSVssmgr\sbin\storageadm volume delete -ipaddr ETERNUS_IP_address -volume Volume_number[,Volume_number,...] <RETURN> |
When the message from the storage management software is one other than the above, refer to the manual of the storage management software, take the necessary corrective action for the message, and then perform the operation again.
