Replication Agents Enhanced EMC SRDF/SRDFSnap agent to support TimeFinder Snap and TimeFinder Clone in the CVM environment. Enhanced EMC SRDF/SRDFSnap agent to support CVM/CFS (SFRAC) on the Solaris 11 SPARC operating system. Enhanced the HTC agent support on the Solaris x86 operating system. Enhanced the HP 3PAR RemoteCopy agent to support on the Solaris 11 SPARC operating system. Enhanced the HP 3PAR RemoteCopy agent to support in the CFS environment on the AIX, Linux, and Solaris operating systems. Added a new attribute known as VCSResLock, which ensures the serialized management in case of a parallel application on the AIX, Linux, and Solaris operating systems. Important Fixes IBM WebSphere agent Filter process pattern is updated in agent to find the appropriate WebSphere process. IBM Informix Dynamic Server In the Solaris non-global zone, the agent now monitors the process whose PPID is the PID of the zone scheduler process. Updated agent start operation, the oninit –yw command is used to start the Informix server. Updated agent stop operation, the onshutdown.sh script is used to stop the Informix server. Hitachi TrueCopy; HP XP Continuous Access Updated agent to rescan all slave nodes before importing the shared DiskGroup during online. If LinkMonitor attribute is set to 2, the agent logs messages when the state of the Hitachi TrueCopy instance changes from PAIR to NON-PAIR in every monitor cycle. AllowAutoFailoverInterval functionality, which allows failover even if the SplitTakeover attribute is set to 0 in case FENCE level NEVER, is now supported in the GCO environment.533Views1like0Commentsi want to uninstall SQL 2012 passive server from VCS cluster which is configured in HA

Hi colleagues, For a customer I have to integrate two seperate databases into VCS 6.2 running on Oracle Linux. However I have no experience with both of them. And I could not find anything on SORT. Could someone point me to the right direction regarding the VCS Agents? MariaDB The first one is MariaDB. However I can not find anything about MariaDB together with VCS. As I found out MariaDB is a spinoff from MySQL since the Oracle/Sun merge, it's very simular to MySQL. Does this mean I can use the same datbase resource as one would use for MySQL? Or is there a sperate one? I assume MariaDB works seemless with VCS 6.2, since I saw this Release Note of SFHA 6.2 stating "Performance improvements for MySQL and MariaDB applications". So I would guess it works great, but I can not find any Agent. Source: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/sfha62 Adabas The other database to integrate is Adabas (from Software AG). From what I learned from Google, I see there was a Partner Agent for VCS 4.1 MP1, but only for Solaris on SPARC or Solaris on x86. But no Linux. That is confirmed in the lit of Partner Agents in the "vcs_agent_support_matrix" spreadsheet (only Solaris on SPARC or x86, but no Linux). I also found a Symantec Article about an issue with the Adabas Agent for VCS 6.1 on SPARC/Solaris, but I can not find the Linux Agent on SORT. According to this Symantec Article the Agent should be released under the STEP (Symantec™ Technology Enabled Program). Source: https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH60665.html But when I look on SORT at the Agents for STEP, no Agents are listed. Source: https://sort.symantec.com/agents/detail/1142 The manufacturer, Software AG, also has a Wiki page dedicated to Adabas with VCS. But no info regarding the Agent. Source: https://techcommunity.softwareag.com/pwiki/-/wiki/Main/Using+Veritas+to+Enable+Adabas+High+Availability Any tips or links to the correct Agents? Thanks in advance, Sander FiersSolved1.1KViews0likes2CommentsIntegrating 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?

Hi All, I tried to bring a SG online in a node but it's not comming online. Let me explaing the issue. We did reboot of a node aixprd001 and we found that /etc/filesystem is corrupted so the SG bosinit_SG is in partial state since lot of cluster FS in not mounted. Then we corrected the entry and done the manual mout of all the FS but the SG still show the status partial so we did the bellow command. hagrp -clear bosinit_SG -all Once done the SG is in online state. For safer side we tried to offline the SG and brought it up online again but the SG failed to come online, Bellow is the only error we able find the engine_A.log file. 2014/12/17 06:49:04 VCS NOTICE V-16-1-10166 Initiating manual online of group bosinit_SG on system aixprd001 2014/12/17 06:49:04 VCS NOTICE V-16-1-10233 Clearing Restart attribute for group bosinit_SG on all nodes Please help me by providing suggestion, I will provide the output of logs if needed.

Hi All, I am new to VCS but good in HACMP. In our environment we are using VCS-6.0, I one server we found that the SG is not moving from one node to another node when we tried manual failover using the bellow command. hagrp -switch <SGnamg> -to <sysname> We able to see that the SG is offline in the currnent node but it's not coming online in the secondary node. There is no error locked in engine_A.log except the bellow entry cpus load more than 60% <Secondary node name> Can anyone help me to find the solution for this. I will provide the output of any commands if you need more info to help me out to get this trouble shooted :) Thanks,Solved1.8KViews1like8Comments
