Go to one of the other members: $ MCR SYSMAN SYSMAN> SET ENVIRONMENT/CLUSTER SYSMAN> DO DISMOUNT/OVER=CHECK <the-volume-designation> FYI, when in doubt, $ HELP/MESSAGE can be your friend too: $ HELP/MESSAGE DIFVOLMNT .... or ... $ HELP/MESSAGE/STATUS=%x0072832C Both will return: DIFVOLMNT, different volume already mounted on this device Facility: MOUNT, Mount Utility Explanation: Previously, a different volume was mounted on this device on another node in the cluster. The device may be in mount verification on the other node. Either the original volume was removed from the device and replaced with another, or its volume identification was overwritten. User Action: Restore the previously mounted volume to the device. If this is not possible, dismount the device on all nodes that currently have it mounted. Then retry the mount operation. All those good people, now made redundant by HP, in the VMS documentation department didn't write all this stuff simply because they couldn't get a book published in the boof-of-the-month club. ;) Very unfortunate. The VMS documentation is fantastic. -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity. -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Experiments
