Configuring VxVM under VCS failover Service Group

[MGP]

Hi All,

I am planning to configure the VxVM under VCS for a failover service group. Could any one please help me to configure this?

My doubt is,

As the disks and diskgroup have dmid & dgid. How the system2 will import the diskgroup if the diskgroup has been created in the system1 in the cluster?  

Is there any options for that?

Thanx

Hi,

I've got some questions:

- Which OS are you using?

- Which version of VCS and VXVM?

- Do you have shared disks in a SAN or a shared storage? Do you use Data-replication (Host-based or storage-depended-mirroring?)

Normally, If both hosts see the shared storage, you could import the disks on both.

Hi,

The OS is  HP-UX11.23

VCS - 3.5

VxVM - 3.5 (Not a Shared volume manager )

I have SAN Disks available for both the hosts. Now it is working on LVM.

So whenver a service group fails in host1 the volume group's are mounted in the host2 with the help of VCS & the service group starts running on the host2.

I want the same setup with VxVm instead of LVM.

So how can configure this?

Thanx
