Root volume is damaged

[bashirgas]

Hi,

I have two node cluster (vsim 8.3) running on VMware Fusion. Doing some exercise I changed the MTU on my cluster ports using network port broadcas.... after few minutes one of the nodes went down and when it came back again, the following message appeared.

***********************
** SYSTEM MESSAGES **
***********************

The contents of the root volume may have changed and the local management
configuration may be inconsistent and/or the local management databases may be
out of sync with the replicated databases. This node is not fully operational.
Contact support personnel for the root volume recovery procedures

After a while the other node also showed same message.

I can not see my root volume in clustershell and I cannot use any of the subcommands of vol/volume....

Anyone who had a similar problem with VSIM 8.3? 

How can I recover my root volumes or repair it in clustershell?

If I enter a nodeshell, I have no option creating additional volumes using the vol command...

I'm stuck..

Thank you

Bash

Thats the response you get when you try to unset a variable that has not been set.  Maybe something changed, or maybe you are hitting a different scenario.  Whats the message you get after a normal boot?

this option is no longer there in 9.5

any ideas how to recover cluster from a power outage

unsetenv bootarg.rdb_corrupt

1.  Bring the node to the LODER prompt:

::*>halt -node <node>

2.  Check to see if the following bootargs have been set:

LOADER>printenv bootarg.init.boot_recovery
LOADER>printenv bootarg.rdb_corrupt

3.  IF either bootarg as been set to a value, un-set it and boot ONTAP

LOADER>unsetenv bootarg.init.boot_recovery
LOADER>unsetenv bootarg.rdb_corrupt
LOADER>bye

The simloader has no saveenv, so when you bye none of the changes will be saved.  Instead you have to boot, and let it proceed to at least the boot menu for changes from the loader prompt to be persistent.
