A.3.1 sfcfsrm script

ERROR: sfcfsrm:0001: can not execute file_name

Explanation

file_name is not executable.

Response

See "Installation Guide" of PRIMECLUSTER and reinstall the package.

ERROR: sfcfsrm:0002: management_partition is not available

Explanation

The status of the GDS volume that was specified as the management partition is not ACTIVE. Or, there is a possibility that the GDS volume is deleted without deleting node configuration information from the management partition by sfcsetup -d on the target node when the use of GFS is stopped.

Response

Check whether the volume exists by executing the following procedures:

# ls -l management_partition <Enter>
  • If GFS is used

    • If the volume does not exist

      Create a volume according to the instructions in "Operation" "GDS Management View" in "PRIMECLUSTER Global Disk Services Configuration and Administration Guide."

    • If the volume exists

      If the volume status is not ACTIVE, change the status to ACTIVE. For instructions on how to change the volume status, see "Operation" "GDS Management View" in "PRIMECLUSTER Global Disk Services Configuration and Administration Guide."

  • If GFS is not used

    • If the volume does not exist

      Delete information on the deleted GDS volume by executing the following procedures:

      1. Create a temporary GDS volume of 40 megabytes or more. (GDS volume name is arbitrary)

      2. sfcsetup -c temporary_GDS_volume (GDS volume name made at 1.)

      3. sfcsetup -a temporary_GDS_volume (GDS volume name made at 1.)

      4. sfcsetup -d

    • If the volume exists

      Delete the node configuration information from the management partition by executing the following procedures:

      1. Set the volume status to ACTIVE. For instructions on how to change the volume status, see "Operation" "GDS Management View" in "PRIMECLUSTER Global Disk Services Configuration and Administration Guide."

      2. See "9.4 Deleting node configuration information from the management partition"and delete the node configuration information from the management partition.

ERROR: sfcfsrm:0003: sfcfrmstart failed

Explanation

sfcfrmd daemon failed booting.

Response

Check the error message of sfcfrmstart(8) displayed previously to this message, and take corrective action about that message according to "A.5.4 sfcfrmstart command."

ERROR: sfcfsrm:0004: can not terminate daemon

Explanation

The daemon could not be stopped.

Response

Collect a file output FJQSS, fjsnap, or pclsnap for troubleshooting information then contact field engineers.

ERROR: sfcfsrm:0005: can not load module

Explanation

Loading of module failed.

Response

If an error message of insmod(8) "Invalid parameters" has been output immediately before this message is output, check following points and take the corresponding actions:

  • If the OS is RHEL8.0, update the OS to RHEL8.1 or later.

  • If there is an urgent fix of GFS corresponding to the kernel version, apply the fix.

If the error still exists after taking the above actions, collect a file output with FJQSS, fjsnap, or pclsnap for troubleshooting information then contact field engineers.

ERROR: sfcfsrm:0006: can not unload module

Explanation

Unloading of module failed.

Response

Collect a crash dump and file output with FJQSS, fjsnap, or pclsnap for troubleshooting information then contact field engineers.

ERROR: sfcfsrm:0007: cluster is not available

Explanation

Cluster resource management has not been activated.

Response

Please follow the procedure in an error message of the Cluster resource management output to /var/log/messages. For details, see "PRIMECLUSTER Messages."

ERROR: sfcfsrm:0008: An error occurred while accessing a file path : errmsg

Explanation

File access to cancel the suspension of the sfcfrmd daemon's startup failed.

Response

Check that the /var/opt/FJSVsfcfs directory exists. If it does, restart the system. If it doesn't, install the package according to the installation guide.

ERROR: sfcfsrm:0009: Querying the state of quorum failed

Explanation

Checking a quorum exists failed.

Response

Check the message of rcqquery(1M) displayed previously to this message, and after taking corrective action about that message according to "rcqquery messages" of "PRIMECLUSTER Messages," restart the system.

ERROR: sfcfsrm:0010: Starting the sfcfrmd daemon failed because quorum does not exist

Explanation

Activation of the GFS service is disrupted because a quorum does not exist when CF is started by the GUI. If the sfcfrmd daemon's start mode is set to wait, and a quorum does not exist, the GFS service will be discontinued during CF startup.

A quorum does not exist, and the GFS service is discontinued under the following conditions:

  • CF is activated by the GUI after CF is stopped on all the nodes, then GFS is operated.

  • A cluster partition error exists.

Response

If you activate CF by the GUI after stopping it on all the nodes, see the procedure described in "12.6 How to start up CF by the GUI when a GFS Shared File System is used."

If you did not stop CF on all the nodes, or the GFS service activation fails after performing the procedure detailed above, a cluster partition error might have occurred. Take corrective action according to "C.3.4 Corrective action when the sfcfrmd daemon is not started."

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

Explanation

Activation of the sfcfrmd daemon is suspended because a quorum does not exist when the node is started up, the node enters multi-user mode, or CF is started by the GUI. Normally, a quorum be not existing is not maintained until all the nodes are activated. As soon as it is exist, the sfcfrmd daemon will be activated.

Accordingly, it is necessary to take corrective actions under the following conditions otherwise data remains inconsistent.

  • A cluster partition error exists.

  • When all the nodes are stopped, or CF is stopped on all the nodes, part of nodes or only CF is activated and then GFS is operated.

Response

WARNING: sfcfsrm:5002: Considering the start mode of the sfcfrmd daemon to be wait because getting the start mode failed

Explanation

Since acquisition of the startup mode of the sfcfrmd daemon fails, the daemon is activated with the wait setting.

Response

If GFS is activated properly, no corrective action needs to be taken. If an error message of the sfcfsrm script is output, it is necessary to take corrective action according to the message.

NOTICE: sfcfsrm:2001: The suspended sfcfrmd daemon is resumed because quorum exist

Explanation

Since a quorum exists, the suspended sfcfrmd daemon was started.

Response

None.

NOTICE: sfcfsrm:2002: The suspended sfcfrmd daemon is resumed by ordering of sfcfrmstart

Explanation

Since sfcfrmstart -f was executed, the suspended sfcfrmd daemon was started.

Response

None.
