Serviceguard configuration with VxVM diskgroups

[Bachur]

Hi,

I am planning to configure Serviceguard to incorporate VxVM volumes and LVM volumes.

How can I incorporate VxVM diskgroups into my cluster configuration file? Let me know if it is possible.

Also let me know whether it is possible with LVM volumes.

Regards,
Bachur

You can use both VxVM Disk Groups and LVM Volume Groups in your cluster.
If you set up a cluster that requires a cluster lock disk, this MUST be part of an LVM VG.
All documented in the Managing Serviceguard manuals available at:

Shalom Bachur,

Its fully supported.

If you look at a cluster and package configuration file, you will see comments in the code that shows how to use VxVM.

You need to have a basic understanding of VxVM before you start.

Only LVM volume groups are listed in the cluster configuration file because only LVM VGs will be labeled with the cluster ID and exclusive activation mode flag when cmapplyconf is performed.
VxVM disk groups are registered in the package control script (#VXVM_DG[0]="") as are LVM volume groups (#VG[0]="")

Use the
#LV[0]=""; FS[0]=""; FS_MOUNT_OPT[0]=""; FS_UMOUNT_OPT[0]=""; FS_FSCK_OPT[0]=""
parameters in the package control script to list both DG and VG volumes and mount directories.

all you have to ensure is that your cluster lock vg is LVM :)
