Query about HP Cluster switching
I have query about HP cluster switching.
I have two node cluster share same disk array(one disk array). Server model: rx7640.
Every server has two FC connection with disk array.
If I unplug one FC from active server, its working.
But if I unplug two FC connection from the active server, cluster is not switching to stand-by node. all application and database hanged.
Is it normal? or cluster should switch?

Re: Query about HP Cluster switching
You could use EMS monitors, or new with SG A.11.20 is the built in LVM Monitor tool.
so what you are seeing is the correct behviour without having configured any form of monitoring

Re: Query about HP Cluster switching
If so that just checks that the database processes are running, it does NOT check for a hang unless you have the new 11.20 Serviceguard with ECMT v 6.0

Re: Query about HP Cluster switching
Actually what happen when cluster switch?
If server can not find the physical disk(since FC is disconnected), will it be able to de-activate VG?
If SG failed to deactivate VG from active node, will it able to switch cluster to standby node?

Re: Query about HP Cluster switching
Scenario:
rx7640 with O/S on internal disk.
2 fiber connections to array where Informix database housed within package.
Both fiber connections die....
Since your O/S is on internal disk, your server will remain up and in the cluster.
Since your package just lost all it's connectivity to disk - your package will fail. Since you went down hard your database went down hard.
The volume group was set to exclusive at the time of failure, and MC/SG is controlling it [ remember vgchange -c y
The package, if it was 'enabled', should start up on it's failover node.
Check cmviewcl and see where the package is and if it was enabled.
Or you could edit the package.cntl file - and REM out the startup of the database first. Save the file. Then manually run the command to start the pkg on the failover node allowing just the mountpoints to come up. And have your DBA's do some kind of database recovery and start it manually.
Just a couple thoughts. Hopefully some MC/SG guru's will pipe in.

Re: Query about HP Cluster switching
Serviceguard only forces a failover when a monitor within the package detects a failure. In the simplest case, the monitor is checking to see if the process is still running. So, if disconnecting shared storage does not cause the process to fail (disappear from the ps list), then the package does not see that as a failure.
The disk monitor that Melvyn referenced is set up as an additional monitor in the package. That way, if access to shared storage is lost, then that is detected as a failure by the package.
The Oracle toolkit has more "advanced" monitors than some others.
You can add a monitor that checks for the database "offline" and use that to cause a failover.
