Problem's adding quorum device

807567Jul 5 2005 — edited Nov 10 2006
Hello,

I am trying to add a quorum device to my cluster and this operation gives me the following error :

---------------------------------------------------------
>>> Initial Cluster Setup <<<

This program has detected that the cluster "installmode" attribute is
still enabled. As such, certain initial cluster setup steps will be
performed at this time. This includes adding any necessary quorum
devices, then resetting both the quorum vote counts and the
"installmode" property.

Please do not proceed if any additional nodes have yet to join the
cluster.

Is it okay to continue (yes/no) [yes]?

Do you want to add any quorum disks (yes/no) [yes]?

Dual-ported SCSI-2 disks may be used as quorum devices in two-node
clusters. However, clusters with more than two nodes require that
SCSI-3 PGR disks be used for all disks with more than two
node-to-disk paths. You can use a disk containing user data or one
that is a member of a device group as a quorum device.

Each quorum disk must be connected to at least two nodes. Please
refer to the Sun Cluster documentation for more information on
supported quorum device topologies.

Which global device do you want to use (d<N>)? d5

Is it okay to proceed with the update (yes/no) [yes]?

scconf -a -q globaldev=d5
scconf: Failed to add quorum device (d5) - unable to scrub the device.

Command failed.
------------------------------------------------------------------

What's the meaning of "unable to scrub the device" ?

this disk have been formated and verifyed agains't phisical error.
but i don't understand what kind of partitions, how many partitions and what kind of filesystem should this disk/partitions should have to be used as a quorum device.

Tanks,
Silvestre
