How to clear UDID mismatch in VCS Cluster(online thinrclm udid_mismatch)?

In this post, we are going to see How to clear UDID mismatch in VCS Cluster(online thinrclm udid_mismatch)?

We are doing this activity in VCS 3 node cluster with Linux environment.

In VCS Cluster udid_mismtach might lead to disk failures.

Error:
#vxdisk -l alldgs list | grep udid
emc4_184a auto:cdsdisk   -   (vxfendg)   online thinrclm udid_mismatch
emc4_184b auto:cdsdisk   -   (vxfendg)   online thinrclm udid_mismatch
emc4_184c auto:cdsdisk   -   (vxfendg)   online thinrclm udid_mismatch
Resolution:

Verify the fencing disks using “vxdisk -l alldgs list | grep udid” command to know whether it’s having udid_mismatch or not. Using that command we came to know all the three fencing disks has udid_mismatch.

#vxdisk -l alldgs list | grep udid
emc4_184a auto:cdsdisk   -   (vxfendg)   online thinrclm udid_mismatch
emc4_184b auto:cdsdisk   -   (vxfendg)   online thinrclm udid_mismatch
emc4_184c auto:cdsdisk   -   (vxfendg)   online thinrclm udid_mismatch

Verify the all 3 disks udid and udid_asl values are different or not.

Using below command we found that, udid & udid_mismatch values are different.

#vxdisk -v list emc4_184a | grep -i udid 
flags:   online  ready  private autoconfig udid_mismatch coordinator thinrclm 
udid:   EMC%5FSYMMETRIX%5FF000197500111%5F110184A008 
tag:     udid_asl=EMC%5FSYNNETRIX%5F000195702690%5F9002F64000

Like the above use the same command to check udid & udid_mismatch values for another two disks(emc4_184b, emc4_184c)

Then check whether the fencing keys on the coordinator disks are fine using below command

#vxfenadm -s /dev/vx/rdmp/emc4_184a

All the fencing keys are looking good on the coordinator disks.

Finally, command to clear the udid_mismatch flag from all 3 fencing disks.

#vxdisk updateudid emc4_184a

#vxdisk updateudid emc4_184b

#vxdisk updateudid emc4_184c

Confirm udid_mismatch has been cleared or not using the below command.

#vxdisk -o alldgs list | grep -i udid

We will start to learn About Veritas Cluster Server and how to manage it, in this post.

VCS is Symantec product and it connects single, multiple nodes under a framework to provide increased availability.

All the nodes will run using their own operating system.

VCS will connect the hardware’s using intelligent software to provide failover, load balancing, and control. when the monitored node or application failed, it will invoke another node or application which is hosted on a node within the cluster.
