How to Bring a Quorum Device Out of Maintenance State
Run this procedure each time a quorum device is in maintenance state and you want to bring the quorum device out of maintenance state and reset the quorum vote count to the default.
Caution – If you do not specify either the globaldev or node options, the quorum count is reset for the entire cluster.
When you configure a quorum device, Sun Cluster software assigns the quorum device a vote count of N-1 where N is the number of connected votes to the quorum device. For example, a quorum device that is connected to two nodes with nonzero vote counts has a quorum count of one (two minus one).

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.

To learn more about quorum vote counts, see About Quorum Vote Counts in Sun Cluster Concepts Guide for Solaris OS.
Steps
-
Become superuser on any node of the cluster.
-
Reset the quorum count.
# scconf -c -q name=device,reset
- -c
-
Specifies the change form of the scconf command.
- -q
-
Manages the quorum options.
- name=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 5–7 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 name=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): |
