Building an HA Cluster Configuration
Configuring the Cluster
Chapter 5244
Be sure to use vgcfgbackup for all volume groups, especially the cluster
lock volume group.
NOTE You must use the vgcfgbackup command to store a copy of the cluster
lock disk's configuration data whether you created the volume group
using the System Management Homepage (SMH), SAM, or HP-UX
commands.
If the cluster lock disk ever needs to be replaced while the cluster is
running, you must use the vgcfgrestore command to restore lock
information to the replacement disk. Failure to do this might result in a
failure of the entire cluster if all redundant copies of the lock disk have
failed and if replacement mechanisms or LUNs have not had the lock
configuration restored. (If the cluster lock disk is configured in a disk
array, RAID protection provides a redundant copy of the cluster lock
data. Mirrordisk/UX does not mirror cluster lock information.)
