1941.0. "reserving devices in failover cluster (ASE)" by BERGEN::ARVID () Wed Mar 12 1997 05:48


	Hello,


  I have a few questions I hope someone can answer:


1.

At Norsk Hydro in Bergen,Norway we have set up a Unix cluster (ASE). When
we set it up, there were problems with vquotacheck. We were helped with
a workaround: vquotacheck was not run during the service startup. The
customer now wants to know: should they run vquotacheck manually and if
so, how often should they run it ?

2.

The same customer was running Unix V3.2C before, but when we setup the
cluster, Unix was upgraded to V3.2G. After this, users have problems
using the command "vquota", they were not allowed to run it. Again, a
workaround was done: I think they set the "suid" bit on "vquota". Do
you know why normal users can't run "vquota" now (after upgrading to 
Unix V3.2G) ??

3.

At another site I saw problems reserving disks. This site is running
Unix V3.2G and ASE V1.3. I was testing some takeover situations and
had one system shut down while the other system had the
service. Then I shutdown the system that was running the service and
booted the other system. The newly booted system then had problems
reserving the drives and making the service available ?? I got the 
service available by doing a " .../asemember restart", but this 
should not be nessessary. Are there known problems with reserving
drives ??

If you are using advfs you should run vquotacheck before mounting the disks. I think if you enable quotas, the current releases do this. I don't know the answers to your other issues...you might file a IPMT to get help from the support group.

If you are using advfs you should run vquotacheck before mounting
the disks.  I think if you enable quotas, the current releases do
this.
