filesystem mountguard

Hello AIXperts,

 

You might have encountered the following situation after making a system clone/refresh from a cluster configuration to a standalone one:

root@server:/ >mount /test
mount: /dev/testlv on /test
0506-365 Cannot mount guarded filesystem.
The filesystem is potentially mounted on another node.
root@server:/ >

root@server:/ >mount /test
mount: /dev/testlv on /test
0506-365 Cannot mount guarded filesystem.
The filesystem is potentially mounted on another node.
root@server:/ >

The solution is quite easy:
root@server:/ >chfs -a mountguard=no /test
mount: /dev/testlv on /test
0506-365 Cannot mount guarded filesystem.
The filesystem is potentially mounted on another node.
root@server:/ >

root@server:/ >mount -o noguard /test
mount: /dev/testlv on /test
Mount guard override for filesystem.
The filesystem is potentially mounted on another node.
Replaying log for /dev/testlv.
