Automation to activate / deactivate RPV server & client devices for PowerHA/XD managed GLVM VGs before after FS related tasks.

PowerHA/XD handles the RPV server & client devices on it's own. After the resource group take over has been completed, PowerHA/XD will: - unconfigures the RPV server devices (puts them to defined state) belonging to the RG's volume groups on the active node - unconfigures the RPV client devices (puts them to defined state) belonging to the RG's volume groups on the passive node This works just fine and won't break the GLVM synchronization since the RPV clients coming from the passive node are available on the active node so the mirroring continues to happen on LVM level. the problem only happens when it comes to perform FS tasks like, PowerHA/XD managed FS removal using clmgr CLI: [g41p-a-00000370.az1.ash.cpc.ibm.com:/etc/dr-data] clmgr rm fs /dummy-fs g41p-a-00000370: rmlv: Logical volume dummylv is removed. cl_rmfs: Error executing clupdatevg datavg 00cb3f17170f8db5 on node g42pa00005861 ERROR: failed to delete "/dummy-fs". same is the case while removing FS via smitty Command: failed stdout: yes stderr: no Before command completion, additional instructions may appear below. g42pa00005861: rmlv: Logical volume testlv is removed. cl_rmfs: Error executing clupdatevg datavg 00cce7f7690d007b on node g41p-a-00000370 In above case the active node was able to remove the FS but the passive not since the RPV client devices were not available on the remote node of the cluster since PowerHA/XD unconfigured them.
