How to Bring a Quorum Device Out of Maintenance State
After a quorum device has been in maintenance state, and is being brought back online, use the following procedure to reset the quorum vote count to the default. For cluster nodes, the default quorum count is one. For quorum devices, the default quorum count is N-1, where N is the number of nodes with non-zero vote counts that have ports to the quorum device.
You should run this procedure any time a quorum device has been put into maintenance state and you are bringing it out of maintenance state.
Caution – If you do not specify either the globaldev or node options, the quorum count is reset for the entire cluster.
To bring a cluster node as well as its associated quorum devices out of maintenance state, see How to Bring a Node Out of Maintenance State.
-
Become superuser on any node of the cluster.
-
Reset the quorum count.
# scconf -c -q globaldev=device,reset
- -c
-
Specifies the change form of the scconf command.
- -q
-
Manages the quorum options.
- globaldev=device
-
Specifies the DID name of the quorum device to reset, for example, d4.
- reset
-
The change flag that resets quorum.
-
If you are resetting the quorum count because a node was in maintenance state, reboot the node.
-
Verify the quorum vote count.
# scconf -p | grep -i quorum
Example—Resetting the Quorum Vote Count (Quorum Device)
The following example resets the quorum count for a quorum device back to the default and verifies the result.
# scconf -c -q globaldev=d20,reset # scconf -p | grep -i quorum Node quorum vote count: 1 Node quorum vote count: 1 Quorum devices: d20 Quorum device name: d20 Quorum device votes: 1 Quorum device enabled: yes Quorum device name: /dev/did/rdsk/d20s2 Quorum device hosts (enabled): phys-schost-2 phys-schost-3 Quorum device hosts (disabled): |
