Resolution
When mounting a CFS file system using shared diskgroup, the local activation mode must be set to shared write.
Use the following command to verify if the diskgroup is set.
# vxdg list [disk_group] | grep -i local-activation
Sample output:
# local-activation: off
From above output, use the following command to change the setting and then mount the CFS filesystem again.
vxdg -g [disk_group] set activation=sw
