NOTE: Note: If there is a cluster configured on a node, the swremove command will not let you remove SG SMS from that node. You must remove the node from the cluster, then use swremove to remove SG SMS. NOTE: Before attempting a SG SMS bundle installation or upgrade, you must disable AUTOSTART_CMCLD on all Serviceguard cluster nodes. To disable AUTOSTART_CMCLD on all Serviceguard cluster nodes, access the/etc/rc.cofig.d/ cmcluster file and set AUTOSTART_CMCLD to 0, (AUTO_START_CMCLD=0).

Installation of the HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundle will automatically handle dependencies on base VxFS and VxVM as well as between products in the bundles. If the cluster configuration currently uses CVM 3.5 with Serviceguard refer to “Upgrading to Serviceguard A.11.17 with CVM/CFS” for detailed upgrade scenarios and considerations. This white paper is available on http://docs.hp.com. Installation steps should be performed in the following order: 1.
to create the mount point multi-node package, (for example, SG-CFS-MP-1) with a same-node dependency on the disk group multi-node package (SG-CFS-DG-1). Once a CFS disk group or mount point is configured under a package, it is important to use cfs* commands in order for the CFS packages to monitor the disk group and mount points. For example, use the cfsmount command to mount these filesystems, not the mount command. e. f.

example, if SGeRAC was independently installed on a system with Bundle T2776BA, SGeRAC must be removed before T2776BA can be removed since SGeRAC has dependencies on Serviceguard and removing T2776BA will remove Serviceguard but not SGeRAC. 3. The swremove command should be issued from one system at a time.

Dirty Region Logging (DRL) for Mirrored Volumes If a system failure occurs while mirrored volumes are in use, the mirrors will recover and clean up any writes that were in progress when the system failed. The Dirty Region Logging (DRL) feature tracks writes that are in progress to reduce the recovery effort after a system failure. Without DRL, the entire volume must be recovered, because there is no way to determine which blocks had writes in progress at the time of the system failure.
JAGaf80544 (SR8606420715) Dependent or MNP package does not start after dependee package starts • • What is the problem? On rare occasions a failover package with dependencies may not failover to a new node or a multi-node package instance may not start on a node when the package that it depends on starts on that node thus satisfying the dependency. For example, this may happen when you run the cmruncl or cmrunnode commands that causes a package to start but the dependent package may not start.
