Issue Resolution
When this issue is encountered during a clone or clone preview, and ioscan shows multiple agile device files
for the same device, remove the stale device files in /dev/disk & /dev/rdisk using rmsf or rm if they are busy. On
LVM systems, you may need to rebuild lvmtab using 'vgscan -a' if ‘lvlnboot –v’ reports a stale device.
Issue Description – dedicated dump devices not set up correctly on clone
After booting clone, dmesg can show errors if dump devices were set up using crashconf on the original
system:
ERROR: dump device 64:0x2 cannot be used and will be ignored:
device could not be opened
Dump device table: (start & size given in 1-Kbyte blocks)
entry 0000000000000000 - major is 1, minor is 0xa27; start = 0, size
= 744488960
In addition, on the booted clone, crashconf -v may also show incorrect entries in the persistent dump device list
similar to the following:
...
Persistent dump device list:
64:0x2
...
Issue Resolution
This issue can be worked around by switching modes from config_crashconf_mode to
config_deprecated_mode using ‘crashconf –o’ on the original system, prior to cloning. Any dedicated dump
devices will also need to be added to fstab prior to cloning.
Status – A fix will be available in a future DRD release. (QXCR1001101295)
