Apr 17 02:29:53 xxxxxxxxxxx kernel: VxVM vxio V-5-0-1910 Cleaning incomplete shared diskgroup dg01 dgiid 33792.32 :

When fencing is configured as CP server based, disk groups are still imported with SCSI3 reservations. This causes SCSI3 PR errors during the import and it will take long time due to retries.

Edit the file /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/CVMVolDg/actions/import file on all nodes in the cluster replacing the line

if [ "$usefence" -a $shared -eq 0 ]

with

if [ "$usefence" -a $scsipr3_state -eq 1 -a $shared -eq 0 ]
