"StartFilesystem: Could not match <device> with a real device" error when service fails over on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • When the node 2 crash or rebooted, why the resource group was not taken over by node1? It seems the node1 failed to acquire the resource group.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5 (with the High Availability or Resilient Storage Add Ons)
  • rgmanager to manage cluster services:

    • A service is configured with LVM and filesystem (fs) resources:
    <resources>
        <ip address="10.10.10.131" monitor_link="1"/>
        <script file="/etc/cluster/appscripts/app-rs.sh" name="wss-app-rs"/>
        <lvm lv_name="vol01" name="midtier-lvm" vg_name="vg05"/>
        <fs device="/dev/vg05/vol01" force_fsck="0" force_unmount="1" fsid="19747" fstype="ext3" mountpoint="/export/midtier" name="midtier-fs" self_fence="0"/>              
        <lvm lv_name="vol01" name="proddata-lvm" vg_name="vg06"/>
        <fs device="/dev/vg06/vol01" force_fsck="0" force_unmount="1" fsid="65011" fstype="ext3" mountpoint="/export/proddata" name="proddata-fs" self_fence="0"/>            
        <lvm lv_name="vol01" name="prodinterface-lvm" vg_name="vg07"/>
        <fs device="/dev/vg07/vol01" force_fsck="0" force_unmount="1" fsid="20525" fstype="ext3" mountpoint="/export/prodinterface" name="prodinterface-fs" self_fence="0"/>  
    </resources>
    <service autostart="1" domain="wss_domain" exclusive="0" name="app-grp" recovery="relocate">
        <ip ref="10.10.10.131"/>
        <script ref="app-rs"/>
        <lvm ref="midtier-lvm"/>
        <fs ref="midtier-fs"/>
        <lvm ref="proddata-lvm"/>
        <fs ref="proddata-fs"/>
        <lvm ref="proddata-lvm"/>
        <fs ref="prodinterface-fs"/>
    </service>
