Issues if the storage connectivity to data disks is lost on a CVM slave node while vxconfigd was not running on the node (2562889)

If storage connectivity to data disks is lost on a CVM slave node while vxconfigd was not running on the node, this may result in following issues when vxconfigd comes up on this node:
  • The shared disk groups on the disconnected storage are marked as dgdisabled on the slave node only.
  • The shared disk groups are available to rest of the cluster nodes but no transactions, such as VxVM configuration changes, are possible on any shared disk group.
  • Attempts to deport such shared disk groups will fail.

Workaround:

Do one of the following:
  • Remove the faulty slave node out of CVM cluster, restore storage connectivity, and rejoin the node to the cluster.
  • Restart vxconfigd on the CVM master node.
