Continentalclusters Version A.07.00 Release Notes
What’s In This Version
Chapter 1 9
Support for Cluster File System and Cluster Volume
Manager Recovery
Continentalclusters environment now supports recovering applications
running as Serviceguard packages that use Veritas Cluster File System
(CFS) 4.1 or Veritas Cluster Volume Manager (CVM) 4.1 from Symantec
for storage management. The application package must have
dependencies defined with the corresponding CFS Mount Point
Multi-node package (MNP) or CVM Disk Group MNP. This feature is
implemented using the /etc/cmconcl/ccrac/ccrac.config file.
Prior to Continentalcluster A.06.00, the ccrac.config file was used for
Oracle RAC configurations with SLVM or CVM 3.5 for storage
management. Starting with Continentalcluster A.06.00, the
ccrac.config file can also be used to configure Oracle RAC
configuration with CVM 4.1 or CFS 4.1 for storage management. In
addition, as a workaround, the ccrac.config file can be used to
configure single instance application with CVM 4.1 and CFS 4.1. For
more information on configuring single instance applications using CFS
or CVM, in Continentalclusters, refer to the Configuring Single Instance
Applications in CFS/CVM Environments in Continentalclusters
whitepaper, available at
www.docs.hp.com
This feature requires HP-UX 11i v2 and the selected HP Serviceguard
Storage Management Suite bundle which includes Serviceguard A.11.17,
CVM or CFS 4.1 support, and SGeRAC A.11.17 (if you need to configure
Oracle RAC).
Other Changes
Prior to Continentalclusters version A.07.00, recovery groups using CVM
disk groups could only be recovered from the CVM master node at the
recovery cluster. Starting with Continentalclusters version A.07.00,
recovery groups using CVM disk groups can be recovered by running the
cmrecovercl command on any node in the recovery cluster.
Following are some of the other important changes in earlier versions of
Continentalclusters:
