Hey now managers! I could use a little assistance, if you please. I am an
early adopter for the Tru64 V5.1a EFT, because we need the LAN interconnect.
I have loaded the OS and everything was coming along until I attempted to
run clu_create. This command fails when trying to configure the quorum disk.
> excerpt from clu_create
Creating required disk labels.
Creating disk label on member disk : dsk0
Initializing cnx partition on member disk : dsk0h
Creating disk label on quorum disk : dsk9
disklabel: write boot code: I/O error
Error creating disk label on quorum disk : dsk9c
Initializing cnx partition on quorum disk : dsk9h
Error: clu_create: Failed relabeling disks.
Error: clu_create: Failed to create a cluster.
No sweat, select no in clu_create and then do it manually later with
clu_quorum -d add dsk2 1. As I understand it, this should add /dev/disk/dsk2
as the quorum disk, utilizing only the h partition.
> Error, when clu_quorum run manually
# clu_quorum -d add dsk2 1
Collecting quorum data for Member(s): 1
disklabel: write boot code: No such device
*** Error ***
Cannot create disk label on quorum disk : dsk2c
*** Error ***
Cannot configure quorum disk.
I tried manually labeling the h partition as cnx and this works, but the
script then marks all partitions as unused before blowing chunks.
I think I have found a couple of errors, undefined variables in
/usr/sbin/clu_quorum, that cause the script to blow up the same way.
My build is from February, even though we just ordered and received the EFT.
I have been told that there have been three or four subsequent revisions to
this code, but none of them made it into the EFT, for various reasons $$$.
Is there any work-around for this problem. I am proceeding with my cluster
installation, realizing that without a quorum disk, the config will be
unstable.
The quorum disk I am trying to use is a RZ1CD-CS and I have tried two
different disks, in case that was an issue, with the same result. Could
possibly be a problem with the BA356, but not sure how to identify it. The
disks are seen by the system and I can read and zero the disklabel.
My environment is the following: Tru64 5.1a EFT/TruCluster 5.1 without
patches (yet) 1xDS20/128MB, 1xDS10/384MB, 1xBA356-KH Storage shelf,
2xKZPBA-CB with y-cable/termination, No MC; using LAN Interconnect, Cluster
root/usr/var
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
