OPS and cvm

[Michael O'brien_1]

Hi,

I'm trying to use CVM features which available as part of OPS for use with two node cluster.

Has anybody used VXVM/CVM with OPS?

Is it a requirement to install the CVM (B9117AA)?

When following the installation instructions in the OPS manual. There was a requirement to run vxinstall. I was then prompted for a Veritas licence key. I guess that the base version of vxvm was bundled with 11i and doesn???t require a licence. I noticed in syslog that veritas complaining it was unlicensed. Where do you get the veritas licence key?

If anyone has experience in running OPS with CVM/VXVM any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks
Michael

Regarding "...Where do you get the veritas licence key?..."

You'll have to call the codewords number for HP @ 1800-538-1733, I believe option 4. They'll ask for your system id:

uname -i

They'll email you instructions about enabling the Veritas Software within HP-UX.

take a read of the Configuring OPS Clusters at
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/pdf/B5158-90044.pdf
particularlyt chapetr 3, and the subsection
Veriras Cluster Volume Manager (CVM)
That should explain it all to you

Hi,

You have to have licence to install Veritas CVM(Clusterd Volume Manager).In my knowledge it's not a part of any HP UX distribution.
you have to bye it seperately.
