7 Cluster Volume Manager
Cluster Volume Manager (CVM) enables the clustering functionality of VxVM. CVM supports
exclusive and shared activation of volume groups, and it is used for managing Oracle Parallel
Server (OPS) and non-OPS data.
NOTE CVM 4.1 requires Base-VXVM 4.1 and Full VxVM 4.1 shipped with the
December 2005 release. Full VxVM is required for CVM to work. If you have
VxVM installation from releases before December 2005, the CVM 4.1
installation overwrites the Base-VXVM present in your system, with the
Base-VXVM 4.1 from the December 2005 release.
In addition, if you have installed patches for 4.1 released in December 2005,
you must re-install the patches, after you have installed CVM 4.1.
Installing Cluster Volume Manager
You can install CVM either in the non-interactive mode, or in the interactive mode.
Installing CVM 4.1 in the Non-Interactive Mode
To install CVM in the non-interactive mode, run the following command at the system
prompt:
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s <depot-path> B9117BA
