A.5.3 sfcadm and sfcnode commands

sfcnode: all node entry delete, can't sfcnode

Explanation

The command cannot be executed because information about all nodes sharing the file system will be deleted.

Response

Reduce the specified host information, and re-execute the command.

{sfcadm | sfcnode}: too many host count

Explanation

Too many host names were specified.

Response

Check whether the number of specified host names is correct, and re-execute the command.

{sfcadm | sfcnode}: too many partition count

Explanation

Too many special files were specified.

{sfcadm | sfcnode}: cannot allocate memory

Explanation

Memory could not be allocated.

Response

Wait for the termination of another process or increase the size of the swap area, and re-execute the command.

{sfcadm | sfcnode}: cannot get host information

Explanation

Acquisition of the host information of node which is specified or which shares file system failed.
Possible causes:

  • The specified node or nodes sharing the file system is stopped.

  • sfcfrmd daemon is not running on the specified node or nodes sharing the file system.

  • A cluster partition error exists.

Response

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

  1. Confirm that the specified node or nodes sharing the file system is not stopped. If the specified node or nodes sharing the file system was stopped, start it.

  2. Execute the following operations on the specified node or nodes sharing the file system.

    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.

  3. When a problem can not be resolved using operations 1 and 2, 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."

  • The hostname is stopped.

  • The sfcfrmd daemon is not running on the hostname.

  • A cluster partition error exists.

Response

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

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

  2. On the node specified with the hostname, check whether the IP address of the hostname 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 hostname is not stopped. If the node was stopped, start it.

  4. Execute the following operations on the hostname.

    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.
