Troubleshooting
Problem
This technote explains why the IBM Rational ClearCase MVFS fails to load during installation on UNIX or Linux operating systems.
Symptom
Installing ClearCase on a UNIX (or Linux) system results in this error:
Note: The output below was taken from a Tru64 host.
ClearCase daemons: albd_server lockmgr
Loading mvfs ...
framework error: subsystem 'mvfs' failure

The /var/adm/messages file reports:
Jun 10 13:42:07 hostname vmunix: MVFS does not support clustered systems or kernels.
Cause
The UNIX operating system was configured as a cluster resulting in the MVFS failure to load.
Review technote 1127354 Support Policy for High Availability clustering and ClearCase for information about supported configurations.
Resolving The Problem
Reconfigure the operating system, such that it is no longer in a cluster configuration, then uninstall and install Rational ClearCase again.
