Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1 Cluster File System Administrator"s Guide (5900-1738, April 2011)

You can schedule the fire drill for the service group using the fdsched script.
See Scheduling a fire drill on page 124.
Running the fire drill setup wizard
To run the wizard
1
Start the RVG Secondary Fire Drill wizard on the VVR secondary site, where
the application service group is offline and the replication group is online as
a secondary:
# /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/fdsetup
2
Read the information on the Welcome screen and press the Enter key.
3
The wizard identifies the global service groups. Enter the name of the service
group for the fire drill.
4
Review the list of volumes in disk group that could be used for a
spaceoptimized snapshot. Enter the volumes to be selected for the snapshot.
Typically, all volumes used by the application, whether replicated or not,
should be prepared, otherwise a snapshot might not succeed.
Press the Enter key when prompted.
5
Enter the cache size to store writes when the snapshot exists. The size of the
cache must be large enough to store the expected number of changed blocks
during the fire drill. However, the cache is configured to grow automatically
if it fills up. Enter disks on which to create the cache.
Press the Enter key when prompted.
6
The wizard starts running commands to create the fire drill setup.
Press the Enter key when prompted.
The wizard creates the application group with its associated resources. It also
creates a fire drill group with resources for the application (Oracle, for
example), the CFSMount, and the RVGSnapshot types.
The application resources in both service groups define the same application,
the same database in this example. The wizard sets the FireDrill attribute for
the application resource to 1 to prevent the agent from reporting a
concurrency violation when the actual application instance and the fire drill
service group are online at the same time.
