A confab with HP tech support resolved it.
This can happen if you have AdvFS volumes served by ASE and someone (e.g.
myself) has gone in and modified the AdvFS volume (e.g., moved it to another
disk) and hasn't bothered to reconfig the service in asemgr (duh, sorry). It
will work fine until you reboot, then it will go away and never come back. In
the daemon.log detail below, "rz16c" is the disk that the domain was mounted on
previously - the disk no longer exists and thus couldn't be reserved.
The way to fix (or prevent) it is to go into asemgr and modify the service by
selecting "Modify the AdvFS domain information". As soon as you go in, it will
detect the change and ask you to confirm it. Do so and then start the service
and it will come up fine.
Original message follows:
When we rebooted one of our 4.0E systems, one of the AdvFS domains
didn't come back. No domain panic, disks all look fine, nothing in the
messages or syslog.dated files at all, until it tried to mount it in ASE
as an NFS service, then it gave me the following:
Jan 8 18:04:49 biosta ASE: biostai Agent Notice: starting service nfs00
Jan 8 18:04:49 biosta ASE: biostai Agent Notice: didn't reserve device
Jan 8 18:04:49 biosta ASE: biostai Agent Error: can't open device file
/dev/rrz16cInvalid argument
Jan 8 18:04:49 biosta ASE: biostai Agent Warning: can't reserve
/dev/rz16c
Jan 8 18:04:49 biosta ASE: biostai Agent Error: can't unreserve device
Jan 8 18:04:49 biosta ASE: biostai Agent Error: can't unreserve device
/dev/rz16c
But I suspect these are all beside the point and because the domain was
already history. Even the link in /etc/fdmns is gone. It was working
just fine until the reboot, in fact I have a sys_check from a couple of
hours before - here is the pertinent bit (the domain is called
domain00):
showfdmn

All looks fine to me. But where did it go? I could give it a name and
then try a verify but I am a bit loath to start down this road until I
can figure out what happened. Any ideas? I will summarize to the list.
Thanks
