Veritas cluster issue
Hi We have a VCS of two node. Two file systems are under VCS configured from VXVM. One file system got 100% full.Now we have rebooted the cluster node & the mount points started to show,but after some time that file system got disappear,Checked with concerned DG that also got disabed,we tried to manually import & got succeded.But after starting the volumes we tried to mount the filesystem under the specified mount point. But the below error giving--- # mount /dev/vx/dsk/bgw1dg/vol01 /var/opt/BGw/Server1 mount: /dev/vx/dsk/bgw1dg/vol01 is not this fstype # Kindly suggest what could be the cause. regards...ArupSolved2.2KViews4likes5CommentsIntegrating SAP with VCS 6.2 (on Oracle Linux 6.5)
Hi, I was wondering if someone has some additional information regarding how to setup my cluster... I have both VCS (inclusing Storage Foundation) and Linux knowledge. I do however have no background in SAP. And as SAP is a very complex product, I can not see the forest because of the trees... Setup 2 node (active-passive) cluster of Oracle Linux 6.5 nodes. Veritas Storage Foundation HA (= VxVM + DMP + VCS). Oracle 11.2 as database. SAP ECC 6.0 Apart from the Installation & Configuration guide on the SAP NetWeaver Agent, I found little information about implementing SAP in VCS. Source: "Symantec™ High Availability Agent for SAP NetWeaver Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux 6.2". But unfortunately I can not find a howto, guide or whatever from Symantec, nor from the usual Google attempts. My customer is however also not very SAP knowledged. From what I understand it is a very basic SAP setup, if not the simplest. They are using SAP ECC6.0 and an Oracle 11.2 database. So I assume they are just having a Central Instance and the Database. After some Google resource, I found out that SAP ECC 6.0 is technically a SAP NetWeaver 7.0. On Symantec SORT, I found 3 versions of SAP NetWeaver. I downloaded the first one, as the descripton says: SAP NetWeaver SAP NetWeaver 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 SAP NetWeaver 7.1, 7.3 Agent: SAPNW04 5.0.16.0 Application version(s): SAP R/3 4.6, R/3 Enterprise 4.7, NW04, NW04s, ERP/ECC 5.0/6.0, SCM/APO 4.1/5.0/5.1/7.0, SRM 4.0/5.0/7.0, CRM 4.0/5.0/7.0 Source: https://sort.symantec.com/agents/detail/1077 SAP ERP 2005 = SAP NetWeaver 2004s (BASIS 7.00) = ECC 6.0 Source: http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/difference-bet-ecc-60-sap-r3-47/ Source: http://www.fasttrackph.com/sap-ecc-6-0/ Source : http://wulibi.blogspot.be/2010/03/what-is-sap-ecc-60-in-brief.html Currently I have this setup unfinshed: Installed & configured Storage Foundation HA on both nodes. Instaled the ACC Libraries on both nodes. see: https://sort.symantec.com/agents/detail/1183 Installed the SAP NetWeaver Agent on both nodes. see: https://sort.symantec.com/agents/detail/1077 Configured next to the CusterServiceGroup, 3 Service Groups: SG_sap the shared storage Resources: DiskGroup + Volumes + Mount. the SAPNW Agent Resource. SG_oracle the shared storage Resources: DiskGroup + Volumes + Mount the Oracle Agent Resurce. SG_nfs still empty. SAPNW Agent. SAP instance type The SAPNW Agent documentation states: The agent supports the following SAP instance types: Central Services Instance Application Server Instance Enqueue Replication Server Instance. Source: "Symantec™ High Availability Agent for SAP NetWeaver Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux 6.2" But I guess the SAP ECC 6.0 has them all in one central instance, right? So I only need one SAPNW Agent. How is the SAP installed: only ABAP only Java add-in (both ABAP and Java). Source: "Symantec™ High Availability Agent for SAP NetWeaver Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux 6.2" I have no idea. How can I find this out? InstName Attribute Another thing is the InstName Attribute. This also does not correspond with the information I have. My SAP intance is T30. So the syntax is correct more or less, but it isn't listed below. Which is important also to decide on the value for the ProcMon Attribute The SAPSID and InstName form a unique identifier that can identify the processes running for a particular instance. Some examples of SAP instances are given as follows: InstName = InstType DVEBMGS00 = SAP Application Server - ABAP (Primary) D01 SAP = Application Server - ABAP (Additional) ASCS02 = SAP Central Services - ABAP J03 = SAP Application Server - Java SCS04 = SAP Central Services - Java ERS05 = SAP Enqueue Replication Server SMDA97 = Solution Manager Diagnostics Agent Source: "Symantec™ High Availability Agent for SAP NetWeaver Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux 6.2" In the listing of the required attributes it is also stated. However, the default value is CENTRAL. I guess this is correct in my case? InstName Attribute: An identifier that classifies and describes the SAP server instance type. Valid values are: APPSERV: SAP Application Server ENQUEUE: SAP Central Services ENQREP: Enqueue Replication Server SMDAGENT: Solution Manager Diagnostics Agent SAPSTARTSRV: SAPSTARTSRV Process Note: The value of this attribute is not case-sensitive. Type and dimension: string-scalar Default: APPSERV Example: ENQUEUE EnqSrvResName Attribute A required attribute is the EnqSrvResName Attribute. The documentation says this should be the Resource Name for the SAP Central Instance. But I am assuming I only have a SAP Central Instance. So I guess I should use the name of my SAP Agent Resouce from my SAP Service Group? EnqSrvResName Attribute: The name of the VCS resource for SAP Central Services (A)SCS Instance. This attribute is used by Enqueue and Enqueue Replication Server. Using this attribute the Enqueue server queries the Enqueue Replication Server resource state while determining the fail over target and vice a versa. Type and dimension: string-scalar Default: No default value Example: SAP71-PI1SCS_sap Source: "Symantec™ High Availability Agent for SAP NetWeaver Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux 6.2" Is anyone able to help me out?

Solaris 10 Update 11 SF-HA 6.1 with VxVM update 100 I've got a direct mounted VxFS filesystem in a Solaris non-global zone that needs to be NFS shared. This would be part of a failover group. group dbprod1 ( SystemList = { mia-sgz-p11 = 0, mia-sgz-p12 = 1 } AutoStartList = { mia-sgz-p11, mia-sgz-p12 } ) Mount MNT_prod1_rpt1_arch01 ( Critical = 0 MountPoint @mia-sgz-p11 = "/export/zones/mia-sdb-p04/root/od/prod1_rpt1_arch01" MountPoint @mia-sgz-p12 = "/export/zones/mia-sdb-p05/root/od/prod1_rpt1_arch01" BlockDevice = "/dev/vx/dsk/prod1_dg/prod1_rpt1_arch01" FSType = vxfs FsckOpt = "-y" ) I've read over both 6.1 bundled agent guide and the virtualization gudie and cannot figure out how to get NFS Server to start in the non-global zones. This service group will control one of two Oracle databses running in this local zone. The databases have to be able to failover independently of each other.Solved4.4KViews2likes13CommentsOracle Data Guard over VCS 6.0
Hello experts. It's being almost a month testing and digging on the VCS documentation regarding "Data Guard and Oracle agents supported by Veritas". The first I can say, documentation is incomplete, confusing and it assumes many things which is a REAL PAIN for a newbie. Anyhow, after weeks of issues and spending hours trying to understand who the whole thing works together, I still have many questions. Scenario: 2 Linux RH6 physical nodes Oracle 11.2.0.4 and Data Guard configured. This is all SINGLE INSTANCE. NO SHARED storage! I read the full documentation regarding Oracle Data Guard Agents for Veritas which was pretty much a real challenge. Questions I have: Why Netlsnr agent shuts down my listener? Switchover fails because of that. I had to remove the Netlsnr resource and monitor. How can I perform a smooth switchover from VCS using OraDG and OraDGBroker agents? It's pretty amazing why this information is not provided on the document. Is it there any other complete documentation regarding OraDG and OraDGBroker operation? It says "agent supports this or that" but it wont tells you the details "how" or "how to make sure this or that happens", or exactly "when". It's really vague. There is an example of what "vague" means. This is a portion of the document: Note: For activateStandby, deactivateStandby, flashbackRecover, SnapshotOn, and SnapshotOff action functions, you must increase the values of the ActionTimeout and MonitorInterval attributes for OraDG and OraDGSnap types before running. To "increase" them. Right. How much??? I found some values on another document but not sure why I have to do this or how to confirm the values are good. There are many other examples like this which makes VCS and Oracle implementation a pain. Thanks for any help you can give me. Ask me for any information and I'll provide it.

Hi, For your information, we experimented problem with the SRDFAgent under VCS 5.0. Our SRDFgroup having more then 150 devices and the default value for OnlineTimeout need to be increase base on the formula described in the documentation. We figure that the correct value for OnlineTimeout need to be adjusted to 600 seconds. Basicaly the SRDFagent 1.0 can't use the OnlineTimeout overwrite parameter value when performing hares –override SRDF_myressourcename OnlineTimeout hares –modify SRDF_myressourcename OnlineTimeout 600 A VCSAgents pack Q3 upgrade will be available soon and this issue will be fixed. The problem can be found in the agent source code: /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/SRDF/SRDFAgent.pm @onlinetimeout = split('\n', `$vcs_home/bin/hatype -value SRDF OnlineTimeout`); $self->{'onlinetimeout'} = $onlinetimeout[0];387Views2likes1CommentHigh Availability Agents - Agent Pack - 1Q2016 release

I'm currently implementing a DR platform for one of our customers as follows: Scenario The platform is composed (currently) of two one-node clusters in a GCO setup 2 IBM POWER 750 LPARs running AIX 6.1 (one per site) Oracle 11g R2 and Data Guard configured (non-RAC) No shared storage VCS 6.0.3 with the latest relevant agents form SORT As of today, the setup works as expected, but the customer requires that we use the DataGuard Broker agent to manage the database replication, to avoid impacting other administration procedures. The problem with that is that the current available version of the AIX agent (5.0.10.0) does not support using the broker agent in a non-RAC configuration, as opposed, for example, to the Solaris version (5.0.14.0), that includes the necessary functionality. Now, the questions are: Why the AIX agent does not currently support DG Broker in non-RAC configuration? Is this functionality on the development roadmap for the agent? If the answer to the previous question is "yes", is there an expected release date for the updated agent? Best regards, Julio.Solved1.4KViews1like5CommentsSG is not switching to next node.

Has anyone hit a bug when using VCS's Oracle agent in "Health Check Honitoring" mode (MonitorOption=1)? I've recently tested this with VCS 6.0.1 on Solaris10 x64, and discovered that the agent attempts to run scripts called "oraapi_32", "oraapi_3211g", "oraapi_64" or "oraapi_6411g" in the agent's directory "/opt/VRTSagents/ha/bin/Oracle". However, this fails because the standard installation doesn't give these scripts execute permission for non-root users, yet it's the (non-root) Oracle user that needs to run these scripts. I added global execute permission to these scripts in my test environment, and this allowed Health Check Honitoring to work OK. Has anyone else hit this problem? Is there an official workaround or solution? Best Regards, Alistair.Solved3.3KViews1like4Comments
