Problem
I/O Fencing unable to start due to configuration error preventing VCS (had) from starting
(includes example of configuration)
Error
A manual attempt to start I/O fencing results in the error:
svxgpor10dv01:/# vxfenconfig -c
Log Buffer: 0xffffffffc090a090
VXFEN vxfenconfig NOTICE Driver will use SCSI-3 compliant disks.
VXFEN vxfenconfig ERROR V-11-2-1125 Error in opening file: /etc/vxfentab
Environment
This is a generic VCS related issue and will be seen on all recent/current versions of VCS on all supported Unix platforms
Cause
Typically the file /etc/vxfendg does not exist on one or more nodes of the cluster.
In the following example, I/O fencing configuration is shown (3 disks are used).
- location of configuration file
# ls -l /etc/vxfendg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8 Aug 23 2010 /etc/vxfendg
- contents of configuration file (name of diskgroup containing I/O fencing coordinator disks)
# cat /etc/vxfendg vxfendg- disks in the fencing disk group
- disks contained in diskgroup
# vxdisk -eo alldgs list|grep vxfendg sun35100_3 auto:cdsdisk - (vxfendg) online c2t266000C0FFE04C1Ed11s2 - sun35100_6 auto:cdsdisk - (vxfendg) online c2t266000C0FFE04C1Ed14s2 - sun35100_11 auto:cdsdisk - (vxfendg) online c2t266000C0FFE04C1Ed19s2 -
- additional configuiration file that is created when fencing is started
(typically when system is booted)
# cat /etc/vxfentab # # /etc/vxfentab: # DO NOT MODIFY this file as it is generated by the # VXFEN rc script from the file /etc/vxfendg. # /dev/rdsk/c2t266000C0FFE04C1Ed11s2 /dev/rdsk/c2t266000C0FFE04C1Ed14s2 /dev/rdsk/c2t266000C0FFE04C1Ed19s2
Solution
Create /etc/vxfendg file containing the name of the diskgroup containing the coordinator disks
EXAMPLE (based on example above)
# echo "vxfendg" > /etc/vxfendg
