How To Resolve Veritas Disk Group Cluster Volume Management Problems On Linux or Unix

09/30/2008  
Relevance: 7.16
How minor device numbers can affect disk sharing within a Veritas Cluster! Today we're going to look at an issue that, while it doesn't happen all that often, happens just enough to make it post-worthy. I've only seen it a few times in my"career," but I don't always have access to the fancy software, so this problem may be more widespread than I've been lead to believe ;) The issue we'll deal with today is: What do you do when disk groups, within a cluster, conflict with one another? Or, more correctly, what do you do when disk groups within a cluster conflict with one another even though all the disk is being shared by every node in the cluster?

I have a 1TB RAID array that has to be moved from my one remaining Solaris machine (which will no longer boot) to a Linux machine.
