IJ13271: clver misleading message when resources found online

PowerHA-7.2.3 SP1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When cluster services are started on node1 then clver
  is called to verify multiple conditions including the
  status of resources on all cluster nodes.
  If for example a volume group is varied on one of
  remote nodes and the volume group is not handled by
  PowerHA then this is apparently being recognized as
  an error condition.
  The following message is displayed on node1:
  
  WARNING: node2 has volume group name_vg varied on.
  This volume group is part of resource group name_rg,
  which is in the OFFLINE state on node2.
  Would you like to bring the resources of this resource
  group: name_rg offline, so that you can then move
  the resource group to a node other than
  node:node2 [Yes / No]:
  
  The question may be misleading and it has been
  requested to make this described more clearly
  and readable. Basically, if No is chosen as the
  majority does then the shared resources consistency
  may be compromised.
  

Local fix

• There is no work-around to this issue.
  

Problem summary

• While starting the cluster services, following message is
  not clear when some of the resources are online without
  RG is online on a node.
  WARNING: sapcl01b has volume group sap_vg varied on.
  This volume group is part of resource group sappr1_rg,
  which is in the OFFLINE state on node sapcl01b.
  Would you like to bring the resources of this
  resource group:sappr1_rg offline, so that you can then
  move the resource group to a node other than
  node:sapcl01b [Yes / No]:
  

Problem conclusion

• Modified the existing verification message to make it more clear
  

Temporary fix

• select yes option
