Hello !
After creating a new member 8 (Tru64 5.1A, PK1, member boot on
HSG80 ACS 8.6F-PK5), booting with 'boot -file genvmunix dga148'
fails with
'panic: init_rootdev: boot device translation failed'
I tried deleting and adding again, even from a different member,
but no success. The member has been a member of a 5.1 cluster
without any flaws. 5.1A was setup as a new installation, the
old member boots have been disabled by zeroing disklabels.
I noticed that after creation of the new member (which showed
no error message at all), the /cluster/members/member8/boot_partition
directory was entirely empty. I then checked the root8_domain#root
filesets etc/sysconfigtab, and the major and minor numbers correctly
point to the cnx partition of the member boot disk. The cnx partition
lines up exactly with the disks end, and no overlapping partitions
exist on the disk (which is the 8th partition on a HSG80 mirrorset).
I tried both with persistently reserved and cleaned persistent flag.
All member boot disks have exactly the same size, and the a partitions
are all 1G, swap about 8G, cnx exactly 2048 blocks = 1MB.
clu_bdmgr -d dsk9 (the boot disk) reports the correct pointer to
the cluster file disk.
I have no idea what's going on here, as the addition of 6 members
to the first member before succeeded without any error.
Any ideas ?
