Managing Serviceguard Sixteenth Edition, March 2009

The default is vgchange -a e.
The configuration file contains several other vgchange 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, “LVM Planning ” (page 133),
and “Creating the Storage Infrastructure and Filesystems with LVM, VxVM and CVM”
(page 206).
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 ” (page 135),
and “Creating the Storage Infrastructure with Veritas Cluster Volume Manager (CVM)”
(page 241).
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” (page 338).
If recovery is found to be necessary during package startup, by default the script will
pause until the recovery is complete. To change this behavior, comment out the line
vxvol_cmd "vxvol -g \${DiskGroup} startall"
