Hello, it is trying to delete the keys on the Fencing Disk Group. The following disks are used for I/O fencing disk group.
I want to reclaim the disk below. Need to know how to remove the reservation key before reclaiming the LUN's from the storage level.
Check the following link:
Simple point here, you are trying to clear the keys from coordinator disks,
A simple answer to that, if you shutdown fencing ofcourse after shutting down VCS completely ... once the fencing is down & module is unloaded, it should automatically clear the keys from fencing disks..
# hastop -all
# /etc/init.d/vxfen stop
# modunnload -i <mod_id_for_vxfen> (check module ID with modinfo command)
post above steps, keys should be cleaned.
If it were data disks, I would go with procedure mentioned by Jubin ..
