Error description

  • SCENARIO:
    CAA cluster running:

    - large amount of EMC disks (hdiskpower)
    
    PROBLEM:
    - the add operation a new node to an existing cluster may
    timeout on the node that is issuing the chcluster and on
    the node that is being added, the syslog.caa will show

Local fix

  • N/A
    

Problem summary

  • CAA operations (mkcluster/chcluster) that register 3rd party
    disks may time out if there are a large number of disks on the
    system.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Provided an option to clusterconf that allows 3rd party disk
    registration prior to running CAA command.
    

Temporary fix
