Storage works merging for 24 hours after node crash

[Jiri_5]

we have good experince with HBMM too. Befor activation we must manage merge (only 4 disk paralel on each node in cluster - aplication must run) and merge was slow an take long time (12 hour). After activation is it under 1 minute.

What exact kit name am I looking for , so I can download .

Kendall,

any VMS732_UPDATE_Vnn00 kit (starting with VMS732_UPDATE-V0300) has the fixes from VMS732_HBMM-V0200 included.

If you have not installed that update kit (or any newer ones: check with PROD SHOW HIST *UPDATE*), you would want to download and install the most recent update kit (VMS732_UPDATE-V0700) and the other patches, which are not included in the UPDATE kits (see ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/openvms_patches/alpha/V7.3-2/ALPHA_V732_MASTER_ECO_LIST.txt).

What kits do you have installed now? It's quite possible that you already have the needed bits on your system.

PROD SHOW HIST VMS732_UPDATE

will show the relevant kits installed

Kendall,

you are all set regarding the HBMM patch. You have not installed the most recent update kit, but you should be fine regarding HBMM.

I imagine the release notes have the necessary instructions to configure and "turn on " HBMM?

[Jan van den Ende]

kendall,

in one word: YES.

But it is a little bit hidden in there,
I have not got them at hand, but something like SET VOLUME Dxxx /HBMM. It can be issued while the shadow set is in use.
For now, do not worry about the various policies: the default will do almost always.

Proost.

Have one on me.

Kendall,

the OpenVMS V8.2 New Features and Documentation Overview manual contains HBMM related information in Chapter 6:

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/82FINAL/6675/6675pro_007.html#minimerge_fc_h

You can also refer to the OpenVMS Volume Shadowing manual.
