Status: Closed |
DURING RESTORES SPECTRUM PROTECT SNAPSHOT SHOWS FMM0644E ERROR VARYONVG: THE VOLUME GROUP IS ALREADY VARIED ON IN OTHER NODE
|
| product: |
FLSHCPY DB2 AGE / 5608AC6DB / 81A - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
When running Spectrum Protect Snapshot restore operations in AIX
environments with PowerHA clustering, error messages like:
FMM0644E Error on running command: 0516-1971
varyonvg: The volume group is already varied on in other node.
can be seen in the job log even though the restore operation
finishes successfully.
Customer/Support Diagnostics:
Varyon errors are reported for volume groups under PowerHA
control
for Concurrent Capable or Enhanced Concurrent Capable volume
groups. Job log will look similar to this:
FMM0644E Error on running command: varyonvg -n
FMM0644E Error on running command:
0516-1971 varyonvg: The volume group is already varied on in
other node. varyoff
FMM0644E Error on running command:
the volume group in other node and retry the varyonvg, or
use -O flag to
FMM0644E Error on running command:
force varyon the volume group.
FMM0644E Error on running command: hdwIntRC: 43
but will ultimately show later in the log:
Successfully finished reimporting of all Volume Groups
Spectrum Protect Versions Affected:
IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot versions 8.1.6 and 8.1.9 on AIX
Initial Impact: Low
