Activates the volume group and any of the logical volumes that are not available. While each system in the cluster must import the volume group, each system should not activate it.
This agent does not import volume groups because of the way LVM stores configuration information. Use the HP-UX SAM tool to import a volume group.
Deactivates the volume group, but does not deactivate the logical volumes. The logical volumes are automatically deactivated when the volume group is deactivated.
If the volume group and all of the logical volumes are activated, the resource is online. Otherwise, the resource is reported offline.
Note The monitor agent function does not perform any I/O on disk. If a disk that makes up a logical volume is powered off, the agent is not aware of this situation until LVM marks the logical volume unavailable. This may occur if the file system or the application using the logical volume attempts an I/O operation and fails. LVM can then set the logical volume as unavailable.
