Automatically Enabling a VERITAS Volume Manager Volume Set

In this example, the cluster-paris cluster is the primary and avsdg is a device group that contains a VERITAS Volume Manager disk group.

Example 1–2 Automatically Enabling a VERITAS Volume Manager Volume Set

This example has the following entries in the /var/cluster/geo/avs/avsdg-volset.ini file:

logicalhost-paris-1 /dev/vx/rdsk/avsdg/vol-data-paris /dev/vx/rdsk/avsdg/vol-bitmap-paris 
logicalhost-newyork-1 /dev/vx/rdsk/avsdg/vol-data-newyork /dev/vx/rdsk/avsdg/vol-bitmap-ny 
ip async C avsdg

The avsdg-volset.ini file contains the following entries:

• lh-paris-1 – Primary host

• /dev/vx/rdsk/avsdg/vol-data-paris – Primary data

• /dev/vx/rdsk/avsdg/vol-bitmap-paris – Primary bitmap

• lh-newyork-1 is the secondary host.

• /dev/vx/rdsk/avsdg/vol-data-newyork – Secondary data

• /dev/vx/rdsk/avsdg/vol-bitmap-ny – Secondary bitmap

• ip – Protocol

• async – Mode

• C – C flag

• avsdg – Device group

The sample configuration file defines a volume set that replicates vol-data-paris from cluster-paris to vol-data-newyork on cluster-newyork. The volume set uses the bitmap volumes and logical hostnames that are specified in the file.
