Hi, I have a new lun created recently n hereby wish to add into my VCS group.

What are the steps that i need to do?

The above is my vfstab.

I need this lun /dev/dsk/c2t5006048C53689BE0d20s0 to be added into VCS group and mounted as /prod/dba/oracle/Backup.

Pls kindly advise.

    This looks like a normal Solaris volume/partition with just a small amount of backup data on it.

    So, my advice is to:
    copy the data off this filesystem,
    unmount it and then
    initialize the disk to bring it under Volume Manager control. 
    Decide if you want to add it to one of the existing dg's or create a new dg (e.g. backupdg):
    vxdg init backupdg backupdg01=c2t5006048C53689BE0d20

    My assumption is that you also have VxFS, right?
    So, create a VxFS filesystem on the new volume.
     

    Then add resources to the VCS service group:

    dg
    volume
    mount

    Not sure what your current dependancies look like, but you need to ensure that /prod/dba/oracle is mounted before this new mount resource can be brought online.
    If you post your main.cf (as File attachment) we can help you with resource dependancies.
     

    Create /prod/dba/oracle/Backup on all nodes.

    Remove /dev/dsk/c2t5006048C53689BE0d20s0 from vfstab.

    Once the new mount resource is online, you can copy the data back.

    Hope this helps.

     

    PS: 
    I have move this discussion to the 'Cluster Server' forum.

    Hi,

    Though Marianne has answered in detail ... I am wondering on what exact is the objective here ... Do you already have VCS running ? Do you have veritas volume manager already installed ?

    If you are adding new lun to an existing diskgroup at volume manager level, the objective I could think of is to either extend an existing filesystem size .. is that what you are trying to do ?  if yes, then you only need to do operation at volume manager layer ..  As Marianne indicated, you need to copy off data somewhere, initialize disk in Veritas & add it to a existing diskgroup & then extend the volume .. This won't require any operation at VCS layer ..

    If you are trying to get all your disks/ resources in VCS for the first time, then steps are more .. You will need to establish cluster, create service groups, resources etc ...
