Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1 for Oracle RAC Administrator"s Guide (5900-1512, April 2011)

The wizard performs the following specific tasks:
■ Creates a Cache object to store changed blocks during the fire drill, which
minimizes disk space and disk spindles required to perform the fire drill.
■ Configures a VCS service group that resembles the real application group.
The wizard works only with application groups that contain one disk group. The
wizard sets up the first RVG in an application. If the application has more than
one RVG, you must create space-optimized snapshots and configure VCS manually,
using the first RVG as reference.
You can schedule the fire drill for the service group using the fdsched script.
See “Scheduling a fire drill” on page 160.
Running the fire drill setup wizard
To run the wizard
1
Start the RVG Secondary Fire Drill wizard on the VVR secondary site, where
the application service group is offline and the replication group is online as
a secondary:
# /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/fdsetup
2
Read the information on the Welcome screen and press the Enter key.
3
The wizard identifies the global service groups. Enter the name of the service
group for the fire drill.
4
Review the list of volumes in disk group that could be used for a
spaceoptimized snapshot. Enter the volumes to be selected for the snapshot.
Typically, all volumes used by the application, whether replicated or not,
should be prepared, otherwise a snapshot might not succeed.
Press the Enter key when prompted.
