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).

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.
• If there are any Oracle instances not controlled by Serviceguard packages, a halt of the system multi-node package SG-CFS-pkg could bring down the node or cluster. What is the workaround? Place all Oracle single instances in Serviceguard packages when deploying these bundles. In addition, single instance Oracle packages using VxFS and VxVM must have a direct dependency on the system multi-node package SG-CFS-pkg.
JAGag22707: Lot's of vx* directories left over in /tmp • • What is the problem? Some empty directories can be seen in /tmp/vx* after a reboot. What is the workaround? These directories can be ignored. JAGag35297: cfsmount failed since the package was already started • What is the problem? cfsmount command could fail complaining the package was already started.
Veritas man page Errata Due to the unique integration of HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundles, errata for Veritas man pages includes: • man page: llttab — What is the problem? Man page states the “llttab file must be managed by the System Administrator”.

• • • What is the workaround? This is not valid in the HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundles. What is the problem? Appendix A has DB2 and Sybase examples. What is the workaround? These do not apply in HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundles.

Throughout manual there are references to VVR.
• • What is the problem? Pages 514, 515, 516, 524, 525, 527, 530, 531, 536, 546 references using “VCS” for HA needs. What is the workaround? HP Serviceguard can handle these same needs.
