On a Solaris 10 host, if the file system fails to mount after reboot, OS and cluster does not start.

After rebooting the Solaris 10 host, if the service svc:/system/filesystem/local fails to mount any of the following file system, the dependent OS or cluster services does not start.

  • Local file system

  • Shared file system

Note The preceding file system must be created by SnapDrive for UNIX.

Workaround

  1. Find the service that failed to start after the reboot by using the following command:

    svcs -vx /network/inetd

    Example:

    # svcs -vx /network/inetd
svc:/network/inetd:default (inetd)
State: offline since Fri 25 May 2008 04:06:59 PM IST
Reason: Service svc:/system/filesystem/local:default
is not running because a method failed.

  2. If the service/system/filesystem/local:default fails, find the persistent file system that is failed to mount by using the following command:

    tail /var/svc/log/system-filesystem-local:default.log

    Example:

    # tail /var/svc/log/system-filesystem-local:default.log
[ May 25 15:58:35 Method "start" exited with status 95 ]
[ May 25 16:07:17 Executing start method

[ May 25 16:07:18 Method "start" exited with status 95 ]

  3. Comment the entries in /etc/vfstab for the file system that failed to mount after rebooting the host.

  4. Restart the OS service: svc:/system/filesystem/local:default by executing the following commands:

    1. svcadm disable

      svc:/system/filesystem/local:default

    2. svcadm enable

      svc:/system/filesystem/local:default

    The OS and cluster service starts.

  5. For local file system that is failed to mount, complete the following steps:

    1. Manually mount the file system.

    2. Uncomment the /etc/vfstab entry.

  6. For cluster services, complete the following steps:

    1. Use the cfsmount command to check if the shared file systems are properly mounted.

    2. Uncomment the /etc/vfstab entry on all cluster nodes for this file system.

      svcadm enable

      svc:/system/filesystem/local:default

  7. If local or cluster file system fails to mount even after completing the preceding steps, contact NetApp technical support.
