Discrepancy between GPFS configuration data and the on-disk data for a file system

There is an indication leading you to the conclusion that there may be a discrepancy between the GPFS configuration data and the on-disk data for a file system.

You issue a disk command (for example, mmadddisk, mmdeldisk, or mmrpldisk) and receive the message:

6027-1290

GPFS configuration data for file system fileSystem may not be in agreement with the on-disk data for the file system. Issue the command:

mmcommon recoverfs fileSystem

Before a disk is added to or removed from a file system, a check is made that the GPFS configuration data for the file system is in agreement with the on-disk data for the file system. The preceding message is issued if this check was not successful. This may occur if an earlier GPFS disk command was unable to complete successfully for some reason. Issue the mmcommon recoverfs command to bring the GPFS configuration data into agreement with the on-disk data for the file system.

If running mmcommon recoverfs does not resolve the problem, follow the procedures in Information to be collected before contacting the IBM Support Center, and then contact the IBM Support Center.
