CentreVu CMS Release 3 Version 8 Disk-Mirrored Systems
Message:
/etc/system has been updated since the
last reboot. CMS cannot run without an up-
to-date /etc/system file.
Explanation: /etc/system can change when a particular Solaris patch is
applied to the system or when state database replicas are
removed and re-added during a boot disk replacement.
Response:
Reboot the system.
Message:
Failed activating new replicas, replicas
already active, or a second disk does not
exist
Explanation: The system does not have all the replicas it needs to be
functional (it needs at least three), or the replicas you
attempted to create already exist.
Response:
Use metadb -i to verify that at least three replicas are
active. If not, add replicas (see Chapter 3).
Message:
Failed: disk c x t y d0 or c x 't y 'd0 already
setup, exiting ...
Explanation: You are trying to set up a disk that is already a part of the
configuration. You probably mistyped the name.
Response:
Set up the disk with the appropriate device name.
Message:
Illegal Request, cannot setup
Response:
Check your hardware configuration and your usage of the
olds command.
Message:
in order to attach disk, /cms must already
be mounted, exiting...
Response:
Mount cms with this command: mount /cms
Message:
ksh: command : not found
Explanation: Command does not exist or is not in the execution path.
Response:
Use the entire path—as pathname / command —or add it
to the execution path with the following command:
# export PATH=$PATH: pathname
The path of the metastat, metadb, metattach, and
metadetach commands is /usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin; the
path of the olds command is /olds
