Symptoms

When a new blade is inserted into a chassis that does not have HD1.1 populated, the software manager is sometimes unable to completely remove all logical volumes from the new blade's factory-installed HD1.1 volume set.

Impact

No immediate impact, but you will not be able to install to HD1.1 in the future due to the undeleted logical volume left in the volume set.

Conditions

-- Adding a new blade in a chassis. -- The 'HD1.1' slot does not exist in the cluster.

Workaround

1) Unmount the volume where the problem exists. 2) Remove the volume. 3) Restart the software manager. Example, in shell: First look in /var/log/liveinstall.log to find the name of the volume that still exists. You might see, for example: 'Can't remove open logical volume set.1._config'. Then use the following cleanup commands, substituting in the volume name, as follows: umount /dev/vg-db-sda/set.1._config lvremove /dev/vg-db-sda/set.1._config bigstart restart lind
