Adding Disk Groups to the Cluster Configuration

For CVM 4.x or later, if the multi-node package was configured for disk group activation,

the application package should be configured with package dependency to ensure the

CVM disk group is active.

For CVM 3.5 and CVM 4.x or later (without using multi-node package) after creating

units of CVM storage with VxVM commands, you need to specify the disk groups in

each package configuration ASCII file. Use one STORAGE_GROUP parameter for each

CVM disk group the package will use. It is necessary to identify the CVM disk groups,

file systems, logical volumes, and mount options in the package control script.

For more detailed information on the package configuration process refer to the

Managing Serviceguard Fifteenth Edition user’s guide.
