Creating a Raw Device Resource Hierarchy
Use this option to protect a raw device resource. For example, if you create additional table space on
a raw device that needs to be added to an existing database hierarchy, you would use this option to
create a raw device resource.
Note: LifeKeeper locks shared disk partition resources at the disk logical unit (or LUN) level to one
system in a cluster at a time.
1. There are four ways to begin creating a raw device resource hierarchy.
l Right-click on a server icon to bring up the server context menu, then click on Create
Resource Hierarchy.
l On the global toolbar, click on the Create Resource Hierarchy button.
l On the server context toolbar, if displayed, click on the Create Resource Hierarchy
button.
l On the Edit menu, select Server, then click on Create Resource Hierarchy.
2. A dialog entitled Create Resource Wizard will appear with a Recovery Kit list. Select Raw
Device and click Next.
3. Select the Switchback Type and click Next.
4. Select the Server and click Next.
Note: If you began from the server context menu, the server will be determined automatically
from the server icon that you clicked on, and this step will be skipped.
5. Select the Raw Partition on a shared storage device where this resource will reside, and click
Next.
6. Enter the Root Tag, which is a unique name for the resource instance. (This is the label you
will see for this resource in the status display.)
