Cause

Cause type: By design
Root Cause: The following prerequisite was not fullfilled:

The resource must have been condition-checked with quotas before being able to execute one of the uxhld, uxrls or uxshw commands

Environment

Component: Dollar Universe 

Version: 6.x

Area: Logical Resources

 

Resolution

Before trying to hold / release a logical resource, please check that this prerequisite has been satisfied:
Extracted from the documentation  around Resources:

#######################################################################################################

The resource must have been condition-checked with quotas before being able to execute one of the uxhld, uxrls or uxshw commands.

#######################################################################################################

You can check that for example via the command uxshw res res=XXX full, in case it throws an error, the Resource Event must be first created.

Else, in case the resource event already exists, you should check first that the resource is not already held, you can do that via the command:

uxrls res res=RESOURCE_NAME clear

Additional Information

To avoid issues post migration from version 5 or when creating logical resources, we advise to perform a

uxhld res res=RESOURCE_NAME lock

right after having created it.

Then, you can do a 

uxrls res res=RESOURCE_NAME  clear

And all the commands above will work from now on.
