Hi All,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Ralf Eberhard of IBM helped me resolve this off list.  The key was to temporarily make testnsd1 and testnsd3 not be quorum nodes by making sure GPFS was down and then executing:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class="">mmchnode --nonquorum -N testnsd1,testnsd3 --force</span><br class="">
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>That gave me some scary messages about overriding normal GPFS quorum semantics, but nce that was done I was able to run an “mmstartup -a” and bring up the cluster!  Once it was up and I had verified things were working properly I then shut it back down
 so that I could rerun the mmchnode (without the —force) to make testnsd1 and testnsd3 quorum nodes again.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>Thanks to all who helped me out here…</div>

Hi Kevin,<br class="">
<br class="">
Let's me try to understand the problem you have. What's the meaning of node<br class="">

fixed and OS cannot be up anymore?<br class="">
<br class="">
I agree with Bob that you can have a try to disable CCR temporally, restore<br class="">
cluster configuration and enable it again.<br class="">
<br class="">
Such as:<br class="">
<br class="">
1. Login to a node which has proper GPFS config, e.g NodeA<br class="">
2. Shutdown daemon in all client cluster.<br class="">
3. mmchcluster --ccr-disable -p NodeA<br class="">
4. mmsdrrestore -a -p NodeA<br class="">
5. mmauth genkey propagate -N testnsd1, testnsd3<br class="">

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [gpfsug-discuss] CCR cluster down for the count?<br class="">
<br class="">
Hi All,<br class="">
<br class="">
We have a small test cluster that is CCR enabled. It only had/has 3 NSD<br class="">
servers (testnsd1, 2, and 3) and maybe 3-6 clients. testnsd3 died a while<br class="">
back. I did nothing about it at the time because it was due to be life-cycled<br class="">
as soon as I finished a couple of higher priority projects.<br class="">
<br class="">
Yesterday, testnsd1 also died, which took the whole cluster down. So now<br class="">
resolving this has become higher priority… ;-)<br class="">
<br class="">
I took two other boxes and set them up as testnsd1 and 3, respectively. I’ve<br class="">
done a “mmsdrrestore -p testnsd2 -R /usr/bin/scp” on both of them. I’ve also<br class="">
done a "mmccr setup -F” and copied the ccr.disks and ccr.nodes files from<br class="">
testnsd2 to them. And I’ve copied /var/mmfs/gen/mmsdrfs from testnsd2 to<br class="">
testnsd1 and 3. In case it’s not obvious from the above, networking is fine …<br class="">
ssh without a password between those 3 boxes is fine.<br class="">
<br class="">
However, when I try to startup GPFS … or run any GPFS command I get:<br class="">
<br class="">
/root<br class="">
root@testnsd2# mmstartup -a<br class="">
get file failed: Not enough CCR quorum nodes available (err 809)<br class="">
gpfsClusterInit: Unexpected error from ccr fget mmsdrfs. Return code: 158<br class="">
mmstartup: Command failed. Examine previous error messages to determine cause.<br class="">
/root<br class="">
root@testnsd2#<br class="">
<br class="">
I’ve got to run to a meeting right now, so I hope I’m not leaving out any<br class="">
crucial details here … does anyone have an idea what I need to do? Thanks…<br class="">
