I have other systems that are running MCSG 11.16 and in the /etc/cmcluster/cmcmconfig.ascii file, the FIRST_CLUSTER_LOCK_VG is set to /dev/vg01. Can't display info about the logical volume or vg group. Listed /dev/vg01 and there is a /dev/vg01/group and /dev/vg01/lvol1, but there is no disk associated to it. When you do a vgdisplay -v vg01, the response is the "Volume group is not activated" and "Cannot display volume group "vg01"." My OS is on two internal disks, mirrored on a LVM configured 'vg00'
This other Cluster has 3 packages and uses VxFS and LVM disks groups in the packages but not both together in the same package. All of these disks are configured on a EVA3000.
My question is, do I use pseudo LVM volumes as my Cluster Locks? If I am using all VxVM configured disks, is there another way to define Cluster locks when you do not have any LVM disks configured?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: MCSG Cluster locks
I suspect that the vg01 group does have disks associated (even if the VG isn't active).
Try this:
strings /etc/lvmtab | more
and you will see disks listed after /dev/vg01.
You need to have a real disk in a non-root VG for the cluster lock even if that VG is never activated after the MC/SG set up.
Best regards,

Note: Remember that the cluster lock disk must be configured on an LVM volume group and physical volume. If you have a lock volume group containing data that you wish to move to VxVM, you can do so, but do not use vxvmconvert, because the LVM header is still required for the lock disk.
So, you must have 1 shared LVM disk between the servers for your cluster lock...

SolutionA disk in a VxVM DG is not supported.
As Clay suggests, I recommend you obtain and install the free Quorum Server product on another HP-UX server, or a Linux server.

Re: MCSG Cluster locks
A quorum server is a more complex to configure, but it can service multiple clusters and is not disk-dependent.
If you have cluster with a lock disk, it can serve as a quorum server for those clusters that do not have LVM-managed disks.
The "Managing Serviceguard" manual tells how to set up a quorum server, and even how to configure it as a package!
