When you run the storage show or snap create command in RHEL 5.11, the command displays the following
error message: Status call to SDU daemon failed and in SLES11SP3 host with –nolvm option when the host LVM is not involved.
- snapdrive storage show -all
command fails to show proper alias name
- SnapDrive for UNIX does not show proper alias name for the mapper
devices.
This issue occurs when multipaths{ } section is not proper in the
multipath.conf file.
- Workaround
- You must ensure that closing braces are entered in the multipath settings.
- SnapDrive operations fails with the below error when the alias names has been
set for the mapper devices
Snapdrive could not import /dev/mapper/lvm_fs_SdDg: device-mapper: resume ioctl failed: Invalid argument
Unable to resume lvm_fs_SdDg-lvm_fs_SdHv (252:4) 1 logical volume(s) in volume group "lvm_fs_SdDg" now active”
This issue occurs when the alias name mapping with the devices is not proper.
- Workaround
- Perform multipath -ll and make sure that the alias name mapping with the devices is proper, and then perform the SnapDrive for UNIX operations.
