Building Disaster Recovery Serviceguard Solutions Using Metrocluster with Continuous Access for P9000 and XP A.11.00

Table 4 Device Group Monitor Parameters (continued)
DESCRIPTIONPARAMETERS
If you want notification messages to be logged in the syslog file,
uncomment the MON_NOTIFICATION_SYSLOG variable and set it
to 1. If the variable is not set, the default value is 0.
MON_NOTIFICATION_SYSLOG <0
or 1>
If you want notification messages to be logged on the system's
console, uncomment the MON_NOTIFICATION_CONSOLE variable
and set it to 1. If the variable is not set, the default value is 0.
MON_NOTIFICATION_CONSOLE
<0 or 1>
If you want an automatic resynchronization upon link recovery,
uncomment the AUTO_RESYNC variable and set it to either 1 or 2.
AUTO_RESYNC
If the variable is not defined or commented, the default value of 0 is
used.
If AUTO_RESYNC is set to 0 (DEFAULT), then the monitor will not try
to do the resynchronization from PVOL to SVOL. This setting will only
send notifications.
If AUTO_RESYNC is set to 1, then the monitor will split the remote
BC if one is configured from the mirror group before trying to do the
resynchronization from PVOL to SVOL.
If AUTO_RESYNC is set to 2, then the monitor will only do the
resynchronization from PVOL to SVOL when it finds the
MON_RESYNC file in the package directory on the node that the
package is running. The monitor will not manage the remote BC prior
to and after the resynchronization. This setting is used if the user wants
to manage the BC themselves. To enable the Continuous Access
resynchronization for AUTO_RESYNC=2, it is necessary to create a
file using the HP-UX command touch. For Example,
# touch <dts_pkg_dir>/MON_RESYNC
CAUTION: If the Continuous Access links are still down while the monitor is trying to
do the resynchronization and another failure occurs that causes a remote failover to the
secondary site, the SVOL’s BC volumes will remain split from its mirror group. This will
only occur if the monitor is configured to perform automatic resynchronization using
AUTO_RESYNC=1.
b. Un-comment the service parameters for the Device Group Monitor and provide a unique
name to the service_name parameter. Do not edit the service_cmd parameter. It is auto
generated.
For Example:
service_name mcxpca_dgmonitor
service_cmd "/usr/sbin/DRMonitorXPCADevGrp
${DTS_DTS_PKG_DIR}/${SG_PACKAGE_NAME}_xpca.env"
service_restart none
service_fail_fast_enabled no
service_halt_timeout 300
If you do not want the package to fail upon device group monitoring failures, you can
set the service_restart to unlimited.
4. Validate the package configuration file.
# cmcheckconf -P temp.config
5. Apply the package configuration file.
# cmapplyconf -P temp.config
