Geographic Edition Properties for SRDF

This appendix provides the properties of Geographic Edition data replication components for SRDF.

This appendix contains the following sections:

SRDF Protection Group and Data Replication Component Properties

The following table describes the SRDF properties that the Geographic Edition software defines.

Table A-1  SRDF Properties
Property
Description
Protection Group Property: Cluster_dgs (string array)
Lists the Oracle Solaris Cluster device groups where the data is written. The list is comma delimited. Solaris Volume Manager disk sets are specified as local-cluster[disk-set]:remote-cluster[disk-set]. Only applications that belong to the protection group should write to these device groups. The Oracle Solaris Cluster device groups must exist and have the same name on both the primary cluster and the secondary cluster.
Tuning recommendations: This property can only be tuned when the protection group is offline.
Category: Optional
Default: Empty
Data Replication Component Property: DG_or_CG (string)
Specifies the type of SRDF component: device group (DG) or SRDF consistency group (CG).
Tuning recommendations: This property must be set to DG.
Category: Required
Default: DG
Protection Group Property: Nodelist (string array)
Lists the host names of the machines that can be primary for the replication mechanism. This list is comma delimited.
Tuning recommendations: This property can be tuned at any time.
Category: Optional
Default: All nodes in the cluster
Data Replication Component Property: R1_SID (string)
Specifies the primary (RDF1) EMC Symmetrix ID of the EMC Symmetrix devices.
Tuning recommendations: You can tune this property at any time.
Category: Required
Default: None, until you add a Symmetrix Remote Data Facility data replication component.
Data Replication Component Property: R2_SID (string)
Specifies the secondary (RDF2) EMC Symmetrix ID of the EMC Symmetrix devices.
Tuning recommendations: You can tune this property at any time.
Category: Required
Default: None, until you add a Symmetrix Remote Data Facility data replication component.

SRDF Cluster Resource Properties That Must Not Be Changed

The Geographic Edition software automatically creates a cluster resource using the SUNW.GeoCtlSRDF resource type and using the naming convention sc_geo_dr-SRDF-protection-group-device-group. The Geographic Edition framework internally changes some properties for this SUNW.GeoCtlSRDF cluster resource. Altering the configuration or state of these entities directly with Oracle Solaris Cluster commands might result in unrecoverable failure.

Therefore, you must not edit the following properties when they are configured in a SUNW.GeoCtlSRDF cluster resource of the name sc_geo_dr-SRDF-protection-group-device-group:

  • DG_or_CG – Defines the type of SRDF component: device group (DG) or consistency group (CG).

  • R1_SID – Defines the local data replication role.

  • R2_SID – Defines the local data replication role.

  • SRDF_group – Defines the SRDF device group that contains the volumes that are being replicated.

  • Replication_role – Defines the SRDF role attribute.
