Troubleshooting
This section describes how to verify the installation and troubleshoot any issues.
1. Verify that the appropriate services are enabled and started by entering the following
commands:
chkconfig cman on && service cman restart
chkconfig clvmd on && service clvmd restart
chkconfig ricci on && service ricci restart
Note that these commands also restart fencing and deactivate the pool.
2. Verify that logical volumes cannot be seen by attempting to mount a logical volume
(/dev/gfsvg1/gfslv1 and VAULT10 are example values):
mount /dev/gfsvg1/gfslv1 /VAULT10
Here is an example of the output if the logical volume is not visible:
mount: special device /dev/gfsvg1/gfslv1 does not exist
3. Using the luci web interface, ensure that nodes are not fenced.
4. Enter the following command to activate all known volume groups in the system:
vgchange -ay
Here is an example of the output:
1 logical volume(s) in volume group "gfsvg1" now active
