configuration file, “LVM Planning” on page 149, and “Creating the
Storage Infrastructure and Filesystems with LVM and VxVM” on
page 215.
IMPORTANT Volume groups for multi-node and system multi-node packages must be
activated in shared mode: vgchange -a s, which is only available if the
add-on product Serviceguard Extension for Real Application Cluster
(SGeRAC) is installed. (See the latest version of Using Serviceguard
Extension for RAC at http://www.docs.hp.com -> High
Availability -> Serviceguard Extension for Real Application
Cluster (ServiceGuard OPS Edition) for more information.) Shared
LVM volume groups must not contain a file system.
(For more information about LVM, see the Logical Volume Management
volume of the HP-UX System Administrator’s Guide under System
Administration in the HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environments
section of docs.hp.com, or Managing Systems and Workgroups under
System Administration in the HP-UX 11i v2 section, depending which
version of HP-UX you are running.)
NOTE A given package can use LVM volume groups, VxVM volume groups,
CVM volume groups, or any combination.
cvm_activation_cmd Specifies the method of activation for Veritas
Cluster Volume Manager (CVM) disk groups. The default is
vxdg -g \${DiskGroup} set activation=readonly
The configuration file contains several other vxdg command variants;
either uncomment one of these and comment out the default, or use the
default. For more information, see the explanations in the configuration
file, “CVM and VxVM Planning” on page 152, and “Creating the Storage
Infrastructure with Veritas Cluster Volume Manager (CVM)” on
page 262.
vxvol_cmd Specifies the method of recovery for mirrored VxVM
volumes. Replaces VXVOL, which is still supported in the package control
script for legacy packages; see “Configuring a Legacy Package” on
page 377.
