VCS detaches a zone when it goes OFFLINE (e.g. when either the offline or clean entry points for the Zone agent run); at least it does this for zones that fail over from one node to another in certain versions, I am not sure which version of VCS you are using, or whether there is code to avoid the detach if you are running the zones in parallel. The detach is done to allow the zone to fail over to another node if necessary, and then attach cleanly on the new node.
However, since your zone shows up in the installed state rather than the configured state should indicate the zone is not detached. On the other hand, the error messages you mentioned do seem to indicate the zone is detached. That is a bit confusing; have you tried manually attaching the zones before booting or verifying? You might have to freeze the resources first, as VCS might try to run clean when they start to go partially online outside of VCS control. Sorry I am not more precise, but I just don't have any Solaris systems to test test on right now, and I don't feel like booting up two nodes under VMware on my 2GB laptop, as that is just horribly slow. -- John Cronin On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 12:05 PM, alok tiwari <alok.20...@gmail.com> wrote: > Tony, > > As this is a production box, I can not take it down.
