Explanation

Acquisition of host information of the specified node failed.
Possible causes:

  • The node specified is invalid.

  • The network setting of the specified node is invalid.

  • The specified node is stopped.

  • sfcfrmd daemon is not running on the specified nodes.

  • A cluster partition error exists.

Response

Execute sfcmkfs(8) again after correcting the cause of the failure according to the following procedures.

  1. Check whether the node specified is correct. If a mistake is found, specify the correct host name.

  2. On the specified node, check whether the IP address of the specified node is correctly registered in host database (such as /etc/hosts). For details, see "11.2.2 Registering information in host database" in this manual.

  3. Confirm that the specified node is not stopped. If the node was stopped, start it.

  4. Execute the following operations on all the specified nodes.

    1. Check if the sfcfrmd daemon is operating by ps(1) command.
      An example is shown below.

      # /bin/ps -e | /bin/grep sfcfrmd <Enter>
      27198 ?        00:00:00 sfcfrmd
      # echo $? <Enter>
      0

      If grep(1)'s return code is 0, sfcfrmd daemon is running.

      See

      For details of ps(1) and grep(1), see the online manual page.

    2. If the sfcfrmd daemon is not running, confirm that the following message is not output to /var/log/messages.

      WARNING: sfcfsrm:5001: Starting the sfcfrmd daemon was suspended because quorum does not exist

      If the message is not output, execute sfcfrmstart(8) command.

  5. When a problem can not be resolved using operations from 1 to 4, a cluster partition error may have occurred. Correct the cluster partition error according to "C.3.4 Corrective action when the sfcfrmd daemon is not started."

sfcmkfs:ERROR: cannot update the management partition: errno = value

sfcmkfs:ERROR: fsid no match. special1 fsid value1, special2 fsid value2

Explanation

The configuration of the specified partition is different than that of the current partition, so a file system cannot be recreated.

sfcmkfs:WARNING: value : bogus logsz reset to system set value

Explanation

The parameter value, value, specified by the logsz option lies outside the valid range, and the value is automatically calculated to create the file system.

Response

If there is a problem, specify a correct parameter value, and re-execute the command.

sfcmkfs:WARNING: value : bogus maxnode reset to 16

Explanation

The value of the maxnode option is out of the valid range, so the default value 16 will be used to create a file system.

Response

If there is a problem, specify a correct parameter value, and re-execute the command.

sfcmkfs:WARNING: value : bogus metasz reset

Explanation

The value value specified for the metasz option is outside the valid range. The file system is created using a calculated size.

Response

If there is a problem, specify a correct parameter value, and re-execute the command.

sfcmkfs:WARNING: value : logsize of partition is over : Retry Auto size

Explanation

The log area of the size (value) specified by the logsz option cannot be secured because the capacity of the partition is insufficient. The log area size is automatically calculated to create the file system.

Response

When this action comes to an issue, specify a proper parameter value and re-execute the command.

sfcmkfs:WARNING: value : metasize of partition is over : Retry Auto size

Explanation

The meta-data area of the size (value) specified by the metasz option cannot be secured because the capacity of the partition is insufficient. The meta-data area size is automatically calculated to create the file system.

Response

When this action comes to an issue, specify a proper parameter value and re-execute the command.

sfcmkfs:WARNING: value : bogus free reset to 10%

Explanation

The parameter value, value, specified by the free option lies outside the range, and the default value 10% is applied to create the file system.

Response

When this action comes to an issue, specify a proper parameter value and re-execute the command.

sfcmkfs:WARNING: value : bogus maxdsz reset

Explanation

As the specified value value of the maxdsz option is out of the valid range or is small for the specified file system configuration, the file system is created, assuming that the maxdsz option is omitted.

Response

The meta-data area size and update log area size of the created file system is calculated from the file system size of the specified partition. No corrective action should be taken if this configuration is used.

If it is assumed to add file data partitions to the file system in the future, delete the file system using sfcadm(8).

Then, specify the maximum total size of the file data area in case of expanding area by adding file data partitions in the "-o maxdsz" of sfcmkfs(8) and execute the command again.

sfcmkfs:WARNING: value : bogus maxvol reset to 16

Explanation

As the specified value value of the maxvol option is out of the valid range, the default value 16 will be used to create a file system.

Response

The maximum number of partitions of the file system is 16. No corrective action should be taken if this configuration is used.

If it is assumed that the number of partitions of the file system exceeds 16 in the future, delete the file system using sfcadm(8).

Then, specify the maximum total number of partitions in case of expanding area by adding file data partitions in the "-o maxvol" of sfcmkfs(8) and execute the command again.
