Configuration Requirements and Guidelines

Observe the following requirements and guidelines:

  • If you are using storage-based replication, do not configure a replicated volume as a quorum device. The Disaster Recovery framework does not support using a Hitachi TrueCopy or Universal Replicator S-VOL and Command Device as an Oracle Solaris Cluster quorum device.

  • If you use the Hitachi TrueCopy and Universal Replicator Command Control Interface (CCI) for data replication, you must use RAID Manager. For information about which version you should use, see Installing and Configuring the Disaster Recovery Framework for Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.4.

  • All Hitachi TrueCopy or Universal Replicator data replication components with the same consistency group ID (CTGID) must be added to the same protection group.

  • The Disaster Recovery framework uses the default CCI instance to manage the Hitachi TrueCopy or Universal Replicator devices. The Disaster Recovery framework starts the default CCI instance whenever a Hitachi TrueCopy data replication component is managed by the Disaster Recovery framework. Applications that are not under the control of the Disaster Recovery framework can also use the default CCI instance or any other instances without risk to Disaster Recovery or application processes or data.

  • The Disaster Recovery framework supports the hardware configurations that are supported by the Oracle Solaris Cluster software. See the Oracle Solaris Cluster Interoperability Matrix for Hitachi Data Systems Enterprise Storage (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris-cluster/hds-enterprise-matrix-4x-1726954.pdf) for information about current supported Oracle Solaris Cluster configurations.

  • The Oracle Solaris Cluster device groups that are listed in the Cluster_dgs protection group property must exist and have the same device group name on both the primary cluster and the secondary cluster.
