Re: [Veritas-vx] [Veritas-ha] portability of dgs between platforms

2007-11-02 Thread Cronin, John S
This is really more appropriate on the veritas-vx mailing list, so I am copying it there instead of veritas-ha. You probably need to take a look at the Veritas Storage Foundation Cross-Platform Datasharing Administrator's Guide. There is a section in there about file system migration. In

Re: [Veritas-vx] How to make diskgroup shareable for failover in VCS?

2007-10-05 Thread Cronin, John S
I see nobody responded to this one yet - it might have been better posted on the veritas-ha list. The solution is easy. Stop the application, unmount the filesystem, stop the volumes, and deport the diskgroup. Configure VCS and let it import the diskgroup, or just import it using the command

Also, you will probably want to use a responsefile. Look in /opt/VRTS/install/logs or /var/VRTS/install/logs for files that end in .response for examples. The easiest way to get it right is if you can test by running the uninstall manually, and then grab the response file from that. Once you

This is one of the truly great things about Veritas Volume Manager. When I first realized I could take a couple of JBOD disks chassis worth of disks, dump them into a pile, insert them into the chassis in random order (not necessarily even into the same chassis), and connect the chassis to

Re: [Veritas-vx] VXVM unattended installation

The easiest way to do this is to first do a manual installation similar to the automated installations you want to do, and then take a look at the logs in /var/VRTS/install/logs or /opt/VRTS/install/logs (the manual installation should tell you where the logs are). One of the files in the

If this is from a short SAN issue, then you can just clear the FAILING flag using vxedit, as documented in the VERITAS Volume Manager Troubleshooting Guide: From the section titled Clearing the failing flag for a disk (sorry, it did not cut/paste too well): Use the vxdisk list command to find

The answer is It depends. If you the disk was mirrored (or RAID-5) using Volume Manager, then you should just follow the procedures for replacing a failed disk (which is covered in the Volume Manager Administrator's Guide ). The easiest way is to run vxdiskadm, and then select option 5 to
