Database/FS pkg
I have a raw-volume database and a bunch of user filesystems which is used by user application to access the database and one floating IP address aliases to the database name. I need to package these two. I have two options:
1) Create two packages:
One package for the database with
the floating IP for the database alias.
and
One package for the app filesystems
without any IP.
OR
2) Create one package containing both the
database VG's(raw lvs) and user
filesystem VGs with the floating IP.
I am leaning towards Option 1, since i would like to keep database package separate and since database is raw lv , whereas app is filesystem LV. The only thing to be aware here is , if database package fails-over, the application package should also failover. But that's something i can set up manually.
How do folks who have similar setup implement it up? (i.e packaging a raw lv database and user filesystems with one floating IP).
thanks

Re: Database/FS pkg
in our previous implementation we used a Sybase 11.x DB using raw volume groups, packed together with our application VGs on the same package with a floating IP. It has been working fine for years :-).
We put the first cluster lock on the sybase VG and the rest seems pretty standard to me.
Cheers
Mike

Re: Database/FS pkg
I've seen it done both ways and I've done it both ways. I personally like option 1 because it gives you more flexibility in the end. If for some reason there is a need to run the packages on seperate boxes in the future (cpu, memory resources for example), then you're already good to go. Also, you can always go back and add a floating IP to the second package if you need to later.

Re: Database/FS pkg
If you have 2 packages that always need to run on the same system, then basically they are acting as 1 package, right? If you are having to manually set up something to get the app package to follow the database package, seems like you're doing what ServiceGuard could be doing for you and is designed to do.
I'd go with option 2. Seems to me that would eliminate a potential point of failure for the apps.

Re: Database/FS pkg
Jd-gt, can you elaborate on what you meant by setting up separate packages for IP, app, services.. ?

Re: Database/FS pkg
Hi,
A related question:
With 11.09 OPS serviceG version can we add a new non-ops package when the cluster is up and running?
Product: (B5161EA A.11.09 ServiceGuard OPS Edition Bundle)
I read in one of the archived posts that, it is NOT possible to do this on 11.09, but the newer version Mc-SG OPS11.11 allows it .
Can somebody pls confirm. (O/S is 11.00)
thanks

Re: Database/FS pkg
Responding to my own query, the man pages confirm that 11.09 OPS version needs the cluster to be down for adding packages.

Re: Database/FS pkg
Really I see service guard as a frame work or an outline. Adhere to certain rules, then your imagination and the OS are the limits!
Hope my insight helps!

Re: Database/FS pkg
We've had a similar dilemma with our 2-node cluster. Since the high availability of the database is the primary reason that we have the cluster, we have decided to create separate packages. This makes the failover process less risky for the database package. (If you have them in the same package, and if, for example, a filesystem fails to mount, your database may not start up on the second node.)
To force packageB to "follow" packageA, we are using HA Monitors. The disadvantage is that you have to purchase a separate product (unless you are already using it). But it makes even more sense if you intend to use it for monitoring other resources anyway. The advantage is SIMPLICITY (although you may need the latest patches). You just configure the package config file (for your second package) with something like this:
RESOURCE_NAME /cluster/package/package_status/
RESOURCE_POLLING_INTERVAL 60
RESOURCE_START AUTOMATIC
RESOURCE_UP_VALUE = UP
Barring the product bugs (i.e. lack of patches) this works quite well
