Dears , Is it mandatory or recommended to implment IO fencing using co-ordinator disks if i have only failover service group with non-shared disk groups ? disk headers will have the info.

Need to add up under existing Resource Group under 2 node clustered Solaris 10 Server...Important..please assist
Hi, I am newbi to VCS. OS is Solaris10. Two node cluster env. New filesystem already created and mounted with dedicated Vertual IP and is already under VCS. We have added two more Vol's (Vol03 & Vol04) in the existing Resource Group say 'node1_rg' Guys, please help me out to know the sequential and step by step procedure with commands to take the newly created Volumes under existing Resource Group......and how to carry out the Failover Test. this is a test server on which we need to do the task. Oracle Database is also there and we can coordinate with App & DBA team to do this activity...... Pleaseeeeeeee help. this is first time I had been to this forum seeking the help...

Hello Experts, We have a two node active-passive VCS 6.0 cluster running in Solaris LDOM on T4-1 servers. Two virtual interfaces (Vnet0 and Vnet1)are configured from the control domain using igb2/igb4. vnet0 and vnet1 using solaris ipmp. The cluster IP is configured as a virtual IP on top of vnet0 as its comes online as vnet0:1. Out external connectivity must happen only from Cluster virtual IP on vnet01:1, but the network team informed that no traffic coming from cluster vitual IP. The firewall only receives the packets from the host IP which was configured on vnet0. Can anyone tell me , how to configure the VCS to forward the traffic from cluster IP to only a particular destination. We have configured the resources using MutliNICB/IPMultiNICB.

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?

When using SFCFS for fast failover, so that only one node reads and writes to a filesystem at anyone time and SFCFS is just used to speed up failover by avoiding having to import diskgroups and mount filesystems, there is a requirement to move the CFS primary with the failover application service group so that the application doing the writes is on the same system as the CFS primary. For me this is standard functionality, as SFCFS is particularly sold as a fast failover solution, like as an alternative to Oracle RAC (in addition of course to being able to write to filesystems simultaneously), but I can't find any referece to standard tools for moving the CFS primary in VCS - does anyone know if any exist? For me the most logical approach for this would be to have a trigger script or resource which looks at the CFS service group it is dependent on and promotes the CFSMounts in that child service group which I can write myself, but I would have thought that a standard script/agent exists. Thanks MikeSolved1KViews1like5CommentsClustered NFS
Can someone confirm my understanding of CNFS in that clients can acces the same share from different nodes in the CNFS cluster. So for example suppose you have 3 nodes, A, B and C and filesystem "/myshare" which is CFS mounted on all nodes and NFS shared on all nodes, then you could have 3 failover servers each containing a VIP - VIP1, VIP2, VIP3. Then: Client 1 can access /myshare via VIP1 running on Node A Client 2 can access /myshare via VIP2 running on Node B Client 3 can access /myshare via VIP3 running on Node C If node C fails then VIP3 may fail to Node A and then clients 1 and 2 would both be accessing share on Node A, but by different VIPs This is my understanding, but the example in the 5.1 CFS admin guide only shows 1 VIP service group which means in the example, there is no concurrent access of the share which I thought was the point of CNFS, or is the point of CNFS that you don't have to unshare and share when you fail over as shares are always there but there can only be one VIP for the share?

The VCS Admin guide says: The Intelligent Monitoring Framework (IMF) notification module hooks into system calls and other kernel interfaces of the operating system to get notifications on various events such as when a process starts or dies, or when a block device gets mounted or unmounted from a mount point. So I assume if IMF know when resources online as well as fault, then IMF is used for the offline monitor - can someone confirm this.

Hello, I am using VCS on Oracle M9000 machines. I have three node cluster. The question is when I failover the services from one node to another I want all the crontabs to be copied to the other live node as well. Which doesnt seem to be working fine for now in my Domain. Can you please help me out that where to define this 'copy cron' procedure so evertime when one enviorment fails over to another node it also copies the same cron from the previous system. Or if there is any procedure which copies the crontabs of every user daily on all cluster nodes. I need to know if this can be configured in VCS. All useful replies are welcome.
