VCS GCO cluster Of EV
We want to create EV cluster using VCS GCO with one node at each site. Can we use SAN based replication to replicate the Vault store and Indexes data at the DR site in place of VVR or do we require VVR for this purpose. as directory and other databases already been clustered using MCS. I will appriciate if some one can provide the details for SAN and VVR replication in this scenario for EV.As we ant full automated Cluster .

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? Thanks in advance.Solved2.4KViews2likes9Comments
Solaris 10 3/05 (FCS) Sparc and SFHA 4.1 Upgrade
Hi All Here are the details of my setup OS = Solaris 10 3/05 - Initial Release [First Customer Shipment] Arch = Sparc SFHA = 4.1 [VxFS, VxVM, VCS] IMPORTANT ************** VCS Type = 2 Node Failover Production Cluster. I'm planning to upgrade my OS to Solaris 10 1/13 update 11 through Liveupgrade after that will Upgrade SFHA using below upgrade path (Current version) SFHA 4.1 ---- > 4.1 MP2 ---- > 5.1SP1 ---- > 5.1SP1RP4 Now my doubt is after the upgrade of OS and SFHA on one node if i switch the service groups from non-upgraded node to upgraded node will the Service groups switch over because OS and SFHA will be of different version. Reply is highly appreciated. Thanks and Kind Regards, Danish.Solved2.1KViews2likes8Comments
SFRAC in AIX 7.1
Dear experts, I trying to install SFRAC in AIX Machine. I guess almost most of the configuration procedure already over. Kindly correct me if I need to do any other procedure to make 100% complete. Task completed: 1) Installation SFRAC & clusterware (local file system on both nodes) 2) install binaries (local file system on both nodes) 3) configure cssd agent 4) relink oracle binaries For datafiles I created seperately shared vg,vol,mount point using cfsmntadm. Kindly clear my below doubts. Online service groups: ClusterService ======> It hold web IP ressource & online on one node ( What is the use of this IP & is should be online two hosts ?) cvm =======> online on both node (hold voting & ocr) oradata_sg =======> online on both node (old datafiles) vrts_vea_cfs_int_cfsmount1 ===> online on both node (is it created by cfsmntadm ? ) vxfen ==> online on both node (IO fencing) My question is : 1) Do I need to link my datafiles SG to any other SG ? 2) Do i need to configure any other res,SG for network ? (I guess clusterware taking care vIP) 3) In main.cf file oradata_sg & vrts_vea_cfs_int_cfsmount1 both poing for datafiles mountpoint. can I remove vrts_vea_cfs_int_cfsmount1 sg ? root@flanker:/> hastatus -sum -- SYSTEM STATE -- System State Frozen A flanker RUNNING 0 A soren RUNNING 0 -- GROUP STATE -- Group System Probed AutoDisabled State B ClusterService flanker Y N ONLINE B ClusterService soren Y N OFFLINE B cvm flanker Y N ONLINE B cvm soren Y N ONLINE B oradata_sg flanker Y N ONLINE B oradata_sg soren Y N ONLINE B vrts_vea_cfs_int_cfsmount1 flanker Y N ONLINE B vrts_vea_cfs_int_cfsmount1 soren Y N ONLINE B vxfen flanker Y N ONLINE B vxfen soren Y N ONLINESolved639Views2likes1CommentVCS Error Codes for all platforms

Best practices for failover without heartbeat
I dont think there is a solution to this, becuse it would violate HA, butI need to ask the question. Prerequisite: HA Setup is up and running. Steps: 1). Unplug the heartbeat cable. (eth1) 2). Unplug/failover the primary system. Secondary system does not come up without manually enabling the autodisable on the faulted primary. They want the secondary system to come up. Automaticly. Is this possable? is it recomemned?968Views2likes2CommentsVCS new volume created. Need to add up under existing Resource Group under 2 node clustered Solaris 10 Server...Important..please assist

Adding LUNs to VCS-controlled diskgroups online with disk-based fencing
Hi, Can anyone describe a method to add LUNs to a VCS-controlled VxVM diskgroup when the disks in the diskgroup are protected using SCSI-3 fencing? We tried adding LUNs to a VCS-controlled diskgroup recently and got the following error message: "VCS ERROR V-16-10001-1036 (systemA) DiskGroup:dg1:monitor:No SCSI3 reservations found on diskgroup dg1". Is there a simple (or not so simple) way to add keys to new LUNs, without taking the diskgroup offline and online again? Our aim is to add storage without any outage. Thanks, Alistair.Solved2.4KViews1like2CommentsVCS 5.1 Cluster Service Name Resolution
VCS was set up before my time at my company. The VCS cluster service name has an IP assigned within /etc/hosts but doesn't have an IP configuration in main.cf and the IP isn't plumped to a NIC. Is this best practice? Anyone kno why this is done? Been through the install guide and can't find IP configuration. Thanks!Solved1.3KViews1like7Comments
