Building Disaster Recovery Serviceguard Solutions Using Metrocluster with Continuous Access EVA A.05.01

8. Check the package configuration file.
# cmcheckconf -P cfspkg1.ascii
9. Apply the package configuration file.
# cmapplyconf -P cfspkg1.ascii
10. Run the package.
# cmrunpkg <siteA_cfs_pkg_name>
Configuring the storage device using VERITAS CVM
To set up the CVM disk group volumes, do the following on the CVM cluster master node in the
Source Disk Site:
1. Initialize the source disks of the replication pair.
# /etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i <replicated_disk_1>
# /etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i <replicated_disk_2>
2. Create a disk group for the complex workload data.
# vxdg –s init <cvm_dg_name> <replicated_disk_1> <replicated_disk_2>
3. Activate the CVM disk group on all the nodes in the Source Disk Site CVM sub-cluster.
# vxdg -g <cvm_dg_name> set activation=sw
4. Create a volume from the disk group:
# vxassist -g <cvm_dg_name> make <cvm_dg_vol_name> XXXX
where XXXX is the size of the volume
5. Create Serviceguard Disk Group modular MNP packages for the disk group.
IMPORTANT: VERITAS CVM disk groups must be configured in a dedicated multi-node package
using the cvm_dg attribute. This multi-node package must be configured to have a package
dependency on the SG-CFS-pkg system multi-node package.
Metrocluster SADTA does not support configuring Legacy style packages for managing VERITAS
CVM disk groups.
To create a package for a CVM disk group:
1. Create a package configuration file using the following modules:
# cmmakepkg -m sg/multi_node -m sg/dependency -m sg/resource -m
sg/volume_group <cvm_dg_pkg_name>.conf
2. Edit the configuration file and specify values for the following attributes:
package_name <cvm_dg_pkg_name>
package_type multi_node
cvm_dg <cvm_dg_name>
cvm_activation_cmd "vxdg -g \${DiskGroup}
set activation=sharedwrite"
3. Specify the nodes in the Source Disk Site using the node_name attribute:
node_name <node1>
node_name <node2>
where node1 and node2 are the nodes in the Source Disk Site.
4. Specify the Serviceguard dependency:
dependency_name SG-CFS-pkg_dep
