I've somehow managed to screw up the boot node of HILANT, basically =

Any ideas?

$ EXIT %X0072832C
%MOUNT-F-DIFVOLMNT, different volume already mounted on this device

You have the system disk mounted elsewhere in the cluster.

Go to one of the other members:

$ MCR SYSMAN
SYSMAN> SET ENVIRONMENT/CLUSTER
SYSMAN> DO DISMOUNT/OVER=CHECK <the-volume-designation>


FYI, when in doubt, $ HELP/MESSAGE can be your friend too:

$ HELP/MESSAGE DIFVOLMNT

.... or ...

$ HELP/MESSAGE/STATUS=%x0072832C

Both will return:

DIFVOLMNT,   different volume already mounted on this device

Facility:         MOUNT, Mount Utility

Explanation:   Previously, a different volume was mounted on this device
                            on another node in the cluster. The device may be in mount
                            verification on the other node. Either the original volume
                            was removed from the device and replaced with another, or its
                            volume identification was overwritten.

User Action:   Restore the previously mounted volume to the device. If
                            this is not possible, dismount the device on all nodes that
                            currently have it mounted. Then retry the mount operation.

All those good people, now made redundant by HP, in the VMS documentation
department didn't write all this stuff simply because they couldn't get a
book published in the boof-of-the-month club. ;)


Very unfortunate.   The VMS documentation is fantastic.
