hello,
I have a shared VG in the cluster on VSCSI disks (reserve_policy=no_reserve)
when I go to:
System Management (C-SPOC) -> Storage -> Volume Groups -> Set Characteristics of a Volume Group
shortcut:
smitty cl_vgsc
and when I selected e.g. "Add a Volume to a Volume Group" some mess was output in smitty window:
1800-050 Error exit status (1) returned by
Command_to_List; the output is:

After several tries and such errors on output, now I see that errors are gone and..... old_rootvg "disappeared" on both nodes (old_rootvg's were probably exported from systems when I selected "Add volume to cluster VG" in CPOC)
Isn't this strange that C-SPOC does something what is not under it's responsibility? Besides I did not run any real action yet from C-SPOC - just selecting option from menu - it must have do bad job during scanning/collecting system information. And the old_rootvg was old system VG, not related to the cluster configuration at all in this case.
Besides, the cluster was and is up and running stable all the time..
kind regards,
