In the FSS environment, if DG goes to the dgdisable state and deep volume monitoring is disabled, successive node joins fail with error ‘Slave failed to create remote disk: retry to add a node failed’ (3874730)

In the Flexible Storage Sharing (FSS) environment, if deep monitoring is not enabled for the volume used for the file system, the CVMVolDg agent is able to detect fault and deport the disabled DG. Any new node joining to the cluster fails with error:

# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxclustadm -v nodestate
state: out of cluster
reason: Slave failed to create remote disk: retry to add a node failed
<!--NeedCopy-->

Workaround:

Enable deep monitoring for the resource using the ‘““D’ option during adding the service group:

# cfsmntadm add -D <dgname> <volname> <mountpoint>all=cluster
<!--NeedCopy-->

If you have created the service group, use the below command to enable the deep monitoring of volumes:

# hares -modify <
<!--NeedCopy-->
