A split-brain condition (when one node survives and the other must be
shut down, which can cause data corruption) might occurs when a Solaris
host fails to correctly register with VERITAS vxfendg disks. The
workaround is to clear the keys manually using the vxfenclearpre
command when you encounter a split-brain condition. This command will
remove Small Computer System Interface 3 (SCSI-3) registrations and
reservations on the coordinator disks, as well as on the data disks in
all shared disk groups.
NOTE: Clearing the keys manually does not always work; sometimes it is
necessary to bring all nodes down.
To clear keys manually, perform the following steps:
a. Shut down all other systems in the cluster that have access to the
shared storage. This prevents data corruption.
b. Start the script:
# cd /opt/VRTSvcs/vxfen/bin
# ./vxfenclearpre
c. Read the script’s introduction and warning. Then, you can choose to
let the script run.
Do you still want to continue: [y/n] (default : n)

Note: Informational messages resembling the following might appear on
the console of one of the nodes in the cluster when a node is ejected
from a disk or LUN:
scsi: WARNING: /sbus@3,0/lpfs@0,0/sd@0,1(sd91):

You may ignore these informational messages.

d. Restart all systems in the cluster.
