921: Unable to perform cluster recovery because of a lack of cluster resources.

Explanation

The node does not have sufficient connectivity to other nodes or quorum device to form a cluster. If a disaster has occurred and the nodes at the other site cannot be recovered, then it is possible to allow the nodes at the surviving site to form a system using local storage.

User Response

Repair the fabric or quorum device to establish connectivity. As a last resort when the nodes at the other site cannot be recovered, then it is possible to allow the nodes at the surviving site to form a system using local site storage as described below:

To avoid data corruption ensure that all host servers that were previously accessing the system have had all volumes un-mounted or have been rebooted. Ensure that the nodes at the other site are not operational and are unable to form a system in the future.

After invoking this command a full re-synchronization of all mirrored volumes will be performed when the other site is recovered. This is likely to take many hours or days to complete.

Contact IBM support personnel if you are unsure.

Warning: Before continuing confirm that you have taken the following actions - failure to perform these actions can lead to data corruption that will be undetected by the system but will affect host applications.
  1. All host servers that were previously accessing the system have had all volumes un-mounted or have been rebooted.
  2. Ensure that the nodes at the other site are not operating as a system and actions have been taken to prevent them from forming a system in the future.

After these actions have been taken the satask overridequorum can be used to allow the nodes at the surviving site to form a system using local storage.
