VxCFS cluster disk flag coordinator

Wei_Li

Hi All,

I am configuring a two node VxCFS cluster.  While configuring coordinator disk group, this caught my attention:

vxdg -o coordinator=on init diskgroupname

This flag is required to be turned on for VxCFS in CFS documentation, but it is not mentioned anywhere for that this flag should be turned on for VCS (not CFS) coordinator disk group.  My question is why VCS does not required to turn on this flag, and what this flag is really used for.  the /etc/vxfentab will be updated with all the coordinator disks, it does not seem it needs this flag to figure out which disks should be used as coordinator

Please kindly advice!

Perhaps there is a guide version issue.  This is required for version 5.0 and beyond.   There are issues in 5.0 and 5.0mp1.  So we recommend specifying all 3 disks during the init.

vxdg -o coordinator=on init vxfencoorddg {disk1} {disk2} {disk3}

Thanks,

Pam
