Resolution
When creating a new filesystem on a shared disk, one has to activate the diskgroup for shared write access using the following command. The activation mode of a disk group determines whether applications are permitted to read and write to volumes in the disk group.
# vxdg -g set activation =sw
Note: If you use the vxdg command to change the activation mode of a shared diskgroup, first change the activation mode to off before setting it to any other value.
