Problem

hastatus shows the cluster is up, but the vxdctl -c mode command shows it as inactive.

 

# vxdctl -c mode
mode: enabled: cluster inactive

 

Solution

From the man page of vxdctl we see that if the -c flag is specified and vxconfigd is in the enabled mode, the clustered state of vxconfigd is displayed. The output format is:
 
mode: enabled: clustered_state
 
where clustered_state is one of following:
 
cluster inactive
cluster active - role not set
cluster active - MASTER
cluster active - SLAVE.

This information is only available if the VxVM cluster feature is enabled e.g

# vxlicrep -e 
 CVM_FULL                            =Enabled


The VxVM cluster feature means you are using Cluster Volume Manager (CVM/CFS) and both the nodes have a diskgroup imported/filesystem mounted at the same time .For example in a Oracle RAC setup.

# vxdctl -c mode
mode: enabled: cluster active - MASTER
master:System1


To check the vxconfigd mode only, use the following:

# vxdctl mode
mode: enabled

vxconfigd operates in the following  modes:  
 
enabled
disabled
booted.
