Troubleshooting volume performance in Storage Foundation
Hi, all. We have released a set of articles about troubleshooting volume performance in Storage Foundation. Here is the link: "Troubleshooting volume performance in Veritas Storage Foundation" http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH202712 Since this is a broad topic, the "technote" is actually a set of about a dozen article that have been organized into a logical tree structure, with TECH202712 at its "root." Let us know what you think! Regards, Mike754Views3likes0CommentsHow To Manage Multiple VCS Clusters from a Central Location
What is the preferred tool/process used to manage multiple VCS clusters? We have several clusters in our environment and to date, the administrators RDP to one of the nodes in the cluster, open the Veritas Cluster Manager - Java Console. What is the solution to see all clusters in a single window or dashboard and also get notification of cluster events? Where is the documentation of how to setup the solution? Are there any videos that demonstrate how to setup or how the solution works?954Views2likes1CommentVCS new volume created. 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...

Veritas Risk Advisor (VRA) is a data protection and downtime avoidance risk assessment solution that lets you diagnose disaster recovery and high availability (clustering) problems (also called “gaps”) and optimize data protection and reduce the risk of downtime. VRA enables enterprises to effectively manage business continuity implementations to ensure that critical business data is protected. VRA automatically detects and alerts you to any potential gaps, best practice violations, or service level agreement (SLA) breaches. VRA’s Report Generator automatically generates detailed reports describing your configuration and the gaps that it detected from information extracted from the VRA database. VRA allows you generate multiple reports at the same time. Also you can export the content into the MS Word, PDF, and MS Excel format. VRA Report Types VRA has the following reports: Scan Status System Event Log Ticket Details Storage Allocation Optimization Unreplicated Data on Replicated Hosts NetApp Filer Replication Summary Unsynchronized Remote Replication Old Replicas Standby Pairs and so on Report scheduling VRA also lets you schedule when reports are automatically generated and sent to one or more email destinations that you configure. New reports automatically generate each time before they are sent. You may also choose to save the generated reports in the file system and access them later. Learning More For more information on working with Reports, see “VRA reporting” in the Veritas Risk Advisor User’s Guide. You can access the User’s Guide and other VRA documentation in the Documents area of the SORT website.1.8KViews1like0CommentsHow to check VVR replication status
Hi, one of our customers is using storage foundation 6.0 for Windows and they use VVR to replicate volumes from production site to dr site. The replication is in asynchronous mode. My question is: How to check VVR replication status? Is there a way to show the replication progress such as how many percentages have been replicated and/or how long it takes to complete the replication? Thanks in advance.Solved5.1KViews1like2CommentsSFHA Solutions 6.0.5: Documentation available

Here is a simpletest . Ihave a fileonoff resource . i delete the file .The resource becomes faulted. In the enginelog there is no mention of the resource being faulted.and the clean action is taken This does not matter if the resource is a critical or not also the type of the resource. this happens in 4.0, 4.1 and 5.0 as well but when the DBG_TRACEis added it displays as RESOURCEFAULTED. Steps to reproduce the issue 1. create a sg with one fileonoff resource 2. online the SG . 3. rm the file configured. check the engine log ass tags halog -addtags DBG_TRACE Now perform the same operation you can see the difference. Noticed that only when "monitor times out" the faulted message is in the engine log. From the user's guide it is not that clear whether it will hog the FAULTEDmessage of not: VCS considers a resource faulted in the following situations: ■ When the resource state changes unexpectedly. For example, an online resource going offline. <<<< ■ When a required state change does not occur. For example, a resource failing to go online or offline when commanded to do so. In many situations, VCS agents take predefined actions to correct the issue before reporting resource failure to the engine. For example, the agent may try to bring a resource online several times before declaring a fault. When a resource faults, VCS takes automated actions to “clean up the faulted resource. The Clean function makes sure the resource is completely shut down before bringing it online on another node. This prevents concurrency violations. When a resource faults, VCS takes all resources dependent on the faulted resource offline. The fault is thus propagated in the service group1.1KViews1like5Comments
