STATUS_RM_NOT_ACTIVE
The resource manager exists but is offline or was never started
A resource manager connects application or filesystem resources to KTM transactions. It must complete creation and recovery and then receive KTM notifications. This status means that lifecycle is not currently active; it is not equivalent to a missing resource-manager object.
The manager may have failed startup, gone offline after a log-write error, or been shut down deliberately. Query its state and inspect the first preceding error rather than repeatedly submitting transactional operations.
What to inspect
- Identify the resource-manager GUID and its associated transaction manager.
- Check whether recovery completed and whether notification delivery was established.
- Inspect earlier log, storage, and service events that caused the manager to stop.
- For TxF, query RM information on the target volume and verify that the filesystem supports the operation.
