We are not planning to address that in VCS at this time. (Multiple children). Please have your account team contact me inside Symantec?
Also, what are you running that a 40 second shutdown is too long? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ceri Davies Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2007 9:39 AM To: veritas-ha@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-ha] Resource Group Dependencies I note that there is a restriction that a group may have only one child group; is there any future in which this might be relaxed? ---- As a usage case, this is why I want this: I have a multi-node cluster in which I have multiple zones on each node, and fail applications over between the zones. I don't wish to use the configuration quoted in the User's Guide for zones, as this configuration requires that, when a service group fails over, that the zone be stopped on the failing node and then started on the node that the group is failing over to. This is bad as, in my testing, starting a zone is very quick, but waiting for one to shut down takes about 40 seconds. Therefore, I'm eschewing this and have created a parallel resource group that starts a zone on each node and have the application resource groups simply configured with a firm local dependency on the zone resource group; e.g. with an identically configured zone vleappp on each node, I use: group vleappp_zones ( SystemList = { clna = 0, clnb = 0 } Parallel = 1 AutoStartList = { clna, clnb } ) Zone vleappp_zone ( ZoneName = vleappp ) group vle_app_prod ( SystemList = { clna = 1, clnb = 0 } ) Application vleappp_apache ( StartProgram = "/nondistinct/vle/application start" StopProgram = "/nondistinct/vle/application stop" PidFiles = { "/zones/local/roots/vleappp/root/nondistinct/vle/logs/httpd .pid" } ContainerName = vleappp ) Mount vleappp_mount ( ) Blah otherstuff () ... requires group vleappp_zones online local firm This works perfectly for me, except now I want to add a global dependency on the vle_ora_prod group as well. Aargh. I simply can't wait for the zones to shut down so is there some other option? Ceri -- That must be wonderful! I don't understand it at all. -- Moliere _______________________________________________ Veritas-ha maillist - Veritas-ha@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-ha
