Mount agent reports resource state as OFFLINE if the configured mount point does not exist

Last published : Sep 11, 2026
If a configured mount point does not exist on a node, then the Mount agent reports the resource state as OFFLINE instead of UNKNOWN on that particular node. If an attempt is made for onlining the resource, it fails on that node as the mount point does not exist.
Workaround: Make sure that configured mount point exists on all nodes of the cluster or alternatively set the CreateMntPt attribute value of Mount agent to 1. This will ensure that if a mount point does not exist then it will create while onlining the resource.
