Sun Cluster Geographic Edition Data Replication Guide for EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility

Configuring the Other Entities on the Secondary Cluster

Next, you need to configure the volume manager, the Sun Cluster device groups, and the highly available cluster file system. You can configure these entities in two ways:

Each of these methods is described in the following procedures.

ProcedureHow to Replicate the Volume Manager Configuration Information From the Primary Cluster

  1. Start replication for the devgroup1 device group.


    phys-paris-1# symrdf -g devgroup1 -noprompt establish

An RDF 'Incremental Establish' operation execution is in progress for device group 
'devgroup1'. Please wait... 
Write Disable device(s) on RA at target (R2)..............Done. 
Suspend RDF link(s).......................................Done.
Mark target (R2) devices to refresh from source (R1)......Started. 
Device: 054 ............................................. Marked. 
Mark target (R2) devices to refresh from source (R1)......Done. 
Suspend RDF link(s).......................................Done. 
Merge device track tables between source and target.......Started. 
Device: 09C ............................................. Merged. 
Merge device track tables between source and target.......Done. 
Resume RDF link(s)........................................Done. 

The RDF 'Incremental Establish' operation successfully initiated for device group 
'devgroup1'.

  2. Confirm that the state of the EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility pair is synchronized.


    phys-newyork-1# symrdf -g devgroup1 verify

All devices in the RDF group 'devgroup1' are in the 'Synchronized' state.

  3. Split the pair by using the symrdf split command.


    phys-paris-1# symrdf -g devgroup1 -noprompt split

An RDF 'Split' operatiaon execution is in progress for device group 'devgroup1'. 
Please wait... 

Suspend RDF link(s).......................................Done. 
Read/Write Enable device(s) on RA at target (R2)..........Done. 
The RDF 'Split' operation device group 'devgroup1'.

  4. Enable all the volumes to be scanned. 


    phys-newyork-1# vxdctl enable

  5. Import the VERITAS Volume Manager disk group, dg1.


    phys-newyork-1# vxdg -C import dg1

  6. Verify that the VERITAS Volume Manager disk group was successfully imported.


    phys-newyork-1# vxdg list

  7. Enable the VERITAS Volume Manager volume.


    phys-newyork-1# /usr/sbin/vxrecover -g dg1 -s -b

  8. Verify that the VERITAS Volume Manager volumes are recognized and enabled.


    phys-newyork-1# vxprint

  9. Register the VERITAS Volume Manager disk group, dg1, in Sun Cluster software.


    phys-newyork-1# scconf -a -D type=vxvm, name=dg1, \
nodelist=phys-newyork-1:phys-newyork-2

  10. Add an entry to the /etc/vfstab file on phys-newyork-1.


    phys-newyork-1# /dev/vx/dsk/dg1/vol1 /dev/vx/rdsk/dg1/vol1 \
/mounts/sample ufs 2 no logging

  11. Create a mount directory on newyork.


    phys-newyork-1# mkdir -p /mounts/sample
phys-newyork-2# mkdir -p /mounts/sample

  12. Create an application resource group, apprg1, by using the scrgadm command.


    phys-newyork-1# scrgadm -a -g apprg1

  13. Create the HAStoragePlus resource in apprg1.


    phys-newyork-1# scrgadm -a -j rs-hasp -g apprg1 -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus \
-x FilesystemMountPoints=/mounts/sample -x AffinityOn=TRUE \
-x GlobalDevicePaths=dg1 \

  14. Confirm that the application resource group is correctly configured by bringing it online and taking it offline again.


    phys-newyork-1# scswitch -Z -g apprg1
phs-newyork-1# scswitch -F -g apprg1

  15. Unmount the file system.


    phys-newyork-1# umount /mounts/sample

  16. Take the Sun Cluster device group offline.


    phys-newyork-1# scswitch -F -D dg1

  17. Verify that the VERITAS Volume Manager disk group was deported.


    phys-newyork-1# vxdg list

  18. Reestablish the EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility pair.


    phys-newyork-1# symrdf -g devgroup1 -noprompt establish

    Initial configuration on the secondary cluster is now complete.

ProcedureHow to Create a Copy of the Volume Manager Configuration

This task copies the volume manager configuration from the primary cluster, cluster-paris, to LUNs of the secondary cluster, cluster-newyork, by using the VERITAS Volume Manager commands vxdiskadm and vxassist command.

Note –

The device group, devgroup1, must be in the Split state throughout this procedure.

  1. Confirm that the pair is in the Split state.


    phys-newyork-1# symrdf -g devgroup1 query

  2. Import the VERITAS Volume Manager disk group.


    phys-newyork-1# vxdg -C import dg1

  3. Verify that the VERITAS Volume Manager disk group was successfully imported.


    phys-newyork-1# vxdg list

    phys-newyork-1# /usr/sbin/vxrecover -g dg1 -s -b

  5. Verify that the VERITAS Volume Manager volumes are recognized and enabled.

  6. Register the VERITAS Volume Manager disk group, dg1, in Sun Cluster software.


    phys-newyork-1# scconf -a -D type=vxvm, name=dg1, \
nodelist=phys-newyork-1:phys-newyork-2

  7. Create a VERITAS Volume Manager volume.

  8. Synchronize the VERITAS Volume Manager information with the Sun Cluster device group and verify the output.


    phys-newyork-1# scconf -c -D name=dg1, sync
phys-newyork-1# scstat -D

  9. Create a mount directory on phys-newyork-1.


    phys-newyork-1# mkdir -p /mounts/sample

  10. Create an application resource group, apprg1 by using the scrgadm command.


    phys-newyork-1# scrgadm -a -g apprg1

  11. Create the HAStoragePlus resource in apprg1.


    phys-newyork-1# scrgadm -a -j rs-hasp -g apprg1 -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus \
-x FilesystemMountPoints=/mounts/sample -x AffinityOn=TRUE \
-x GlobalDevicePaths=dg1

  12. If necessary, confirm that the application resource group is correctly configured by bringing it online and taking it offline again.


    phys-newyork-1# scswitch -z -g apprg1 -h phys-newyork-1
phs-newyork-1# scswitch -F -g apprg1
