The following new features and enhancements are included in the HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite version A.03.00 bundles for HP-UX 11i v3 : • Serviceguard CFS clusters now support APA in the hearbeat network. • Serviceguard CFS clusters use MEMBER_TIMEOUT to specify how long it takes for a node to time out. NODE_TIMEOUT and HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL are replaced by MEMBER_TIMEOUT in SG SMS version A.03.00.
• New Serviceguard Manager capabilities • New -K option for cmgetconf that causes cmgetconf to skip probing of volume groups, allowing the command to complete faster; the resulting cluster configuration file will not contain a list of cluster-aware volume groups • Improved support for nested mount points NOTE: For more information on Serviceguard features and enhancements that are supported with SG SMS version A.03.00 for HP-UX 11i v3 bundles, see the HP Serviceguard Version A.11.
What’s New with Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) The following VxVM features and enhancements are supported in the SG SMS version A.03.00 for HP-UX 11i v3 bundles: • The SmartMove™ feature — reduces the time and I/O required to attach or reattach a plex to an existing VxVM volume, in the specific case where a VxVM volume has a VxFS file system mounted on it.
◦ The vxdg settag command now provides an option for automatic tagging of a site ◦ The vxdg command provides a new renamesite option • The vxvmconvert command displays the estimated time required for a volume conversion operation, before the conversion operation is committed. • The vxsited daemon has been renamed to vxattachd and it now also handles automatic reattachment and resynchronization for plexes.
What’s Included in the HP Storage Management Suite Version A.03.00 for HP-UX 11i v3 All HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundles deliver core HP Serviceguard products and the Veritas Storage Foundation™ by Symantec (SF).

To re-enable Automatic startup (AUTOSTART_CMCLD) after completing your SG SMS bundle installation or upgrade, set the flag AUTOSTART_CMCLD to 1 in the /etc/rc.config.d/ cmcluster file (AUTOSTART_CMCLD=1) For more information on AUTOSTART_CMCLD, see the Setting up Autostart Features and Performing a Rolling Upgrade sections in Managing Serviceguard, Fifteenth Edition, available at www.hp.com/ go/hpux-serviceguard-docs ->HP Serviceguard.
7. Re-join the Group B nodes to the cluster, one at a time: a. Node 2 > cmrunnode node2 b. Node 3 > cmrunnode node3 8. Redistribute the application failover packages over ALL of the active cluster nodes (Group A and Group B nodes). Optional steps must be performed on the CVM master/CFS primary nodes to upgrade to the new CVM and CFS protocol/layout versions (refer to the VxVM and VxFS Administrators Guides for details): 9.
System Requirements HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundles run on HP 9000 or HP Integrity Servers. Using both types of servers in the same cluster is supported. Disk Requirements Installation of any HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundle requires a minimum of 550 MB of disk space in the root file system. Before Installing HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Version A.03.
NOTE: The initial installation of a SG SMS Operating Environment bundle (T8684DB, T8685DB, T8686DB, T8687DB, T8694DB, T8695DB, T8696DB, T8697DB) on a system requires that the appropriate HP-UX OE (HAOE, or DCOE) is already installed on that system. The HP-UX OE delivers the required version of Serviceguard, and ECMT. For details on upgrading a SG SMS OE bundle, please read:“Updating HP-UX and SG SMS Simultaneously” (page 30) Use the appropriate bundle product number in place of T27xxDB.

SG SMS 5.0.1/v3 installation fails on September 2009 OE Update Release if Full-VxVM 5.0 (B9116CB) is installed (QXCR1000973245) A SG SMS 5.0.1 bundle cannot be installed over Full-VxVM 5.0 (B9116CB). To install a SG SMS 5.0.1 bundle, follow these steps: 1. Upgrade to Full-VxVM 5.0.1 (B9116DB). 2. Install the SG SMS 5.0.1 bundle. Contact your HP representative if you need assistance.
Adding a Node to a CFS Cluster The following example illustrates how you can add one node (node3) to a cluster consisting of two CFS nodes (node1 and node2): 1. Ensure that the new node (node3) is connected to the storage. Ensure that all CVM disks used in other nodes are seen by the new node (node3). 2. Ensure that the new node is connected to appropriate heartbeat networks, the same as the other nodes in the cluster.
3. Delete node2 from all of the application packages. Edit all application package configuration files and remove node2 from the package configuration. Re-apply the package configuration: cmapplyconf -f -P app-pkg-config-file 4. Delete node2 from the /mpt configuration - that is, modify the CFS mount point packages and remove node2 from their configuration: cfsmntadm modify /mpt delete node2 This step must be repeated for all CFS mount-point Multi-Node packages. 5.
12. Mount the file system on the new node using the cfsmount command. 13. Run the cfscluster status command to check the status of the CFS/CVM DG and mount points. 14. Steps #11 to #13 must be repeated for all of the volumes present on the current DG. If there are more DGs repeat steps #9 to #13. 15. Extend the Oracle Clusterware software to the new node. For more information on extending the Oracle Clusterware software, see the Oracle Database documentation. 16.
7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. Disable AUTOSTART_CMCLD in /etc/rc.config.d/cmcluster on the node that is being deleted, by setting AUTOSTART_CMCLD to zero: (AUTO_START_CMCLD=0) Run cmhaltnode -f to halt the node that is being removed from the cluster. The -f option will halt all the packages that are running on the node that is being deleted. Delete a node from a Mount Point (MP) package using the cfsmntadm modify delete command.
HP strongly recommends that you use DRL with mirrored data volumes in a clustered environment to enable faster volume recovery. However, Oracle database volumes should be configured without DRL, because the Oracle database application keeps its own logs and does not require VxVM to maintain logs. For information on DRL and the Veritas™ SmartSync Recovery Accelerator, see the Veritas™ Volume Manager Administrator’s Guide, HP-UX 11i v3, 5.0.1.
