A constant source of annoyance is opening the VCS Java console, dragging the cluster browser over to the second monitor to view the status of the nodes. Then you right click on that resource that needs to be probed and the pop-up menu opens on the other monitor! Is there a way to update the console to be multi-screen/monitor aware?

A package that has all PDFs for a particular version. Ex. If you are on the page for Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability Product guides under the AIX tab for version 6.0.1 at the bottom of the list there is a download all link.

Hi, I didn't found a monitoring method to monirot faulted VCS agents. 2011/08/27 18:20:22 VCS ERROR V-16-1-10008 Agent Phantom has faulted 6 times since August 27, 2011 6:14:52 PM CEST 2011/08/27 18:20:22 VCS ERROR V-16-1-10009 Agent Phantom has faulted 6 times in less than 950 seconds -- Will not attempt to restart. Correct the problem and use haagent -start to start the agent Can you implement a monitoring rule in VOM? thanks! Regards Björn

The Zone resource monitor script from 5.1RP1 (maybe others too) uses "zoneadm" to check for zone data. This seems to happen on all nodes, even those where the zone is not currently running. This again produces lots and lots of messages of the following format: ---> 2011/03/31 14:56:37 VCS INFO V-16-2-13716 (<nodename>) Resource(<zone resource>): Output of the completed operation (monitor) ============================================== zoneadm: <zone>: No ...

The consistency of /etc/zones/<zone>.xml and /etc/zones/index configuration files should be forced by VCS to guarantee that a failover/switch of a servicegroup containing a zone works. currently, the failover node may have wrong or missing data and won't be able to start the zone. We need a mechanism for synchronizing the xml files betwenn the nodes - at best as an transaction, maybe even over GAB like the cluster configuration itself. This is required to ensure failover in certain ...

In my practice most DR/HA solutions failed because of node's inconsistent configuration. Everybody knows that application and server management before clustering and after really differs. After clustering both application and server management should be correlated with the Cluster. When you do something at one node, you also should do the same thing at the whole nodes of this cluster. For example when you add user to one node, you should add the same user at all other cluster nodes. ...

I have observed many times that people have difficulty in finding out the supportability for any product. If we need proper information, we need to reach out the release notes of specific product because at this point supportability is listed per OS & not per product. This becomes more diffcult for new products which are supported on virutalization technologies like vmware, vSphere, Xen etc.. Is it possible to have a product based support matrix ? For e.g If I want to see support for ...

Hi, I feel that most of users are not confident on VVR setup and dont find confortable with commands. That results in many support cases for small things. It will be great if a menu driven script is designed just like vxdiskadm in vxvm. A script which can help users to manage RVG, RLINK, SRL, DCM, primary-secondary role migration, add/remove data volumes etc. Thank you Regards, ~Anoop

Preonline and PostOnline are the most common used triggers. I know triggers exists to call preonline scripts etc..but it would be very handy if VCS resource group has an attribute to call external scripts just like triggers This doesnt mean we should take out the trigger capability associated with resource group state changes..they can continue to exist But add new attribute associated with resource group or even resource to call external script as preonline and postonline for eg new ...

Hello VCS developers..... I have more than 200 clusters in my environment, starting from a basic 2 node cluster to 16 node cluster...... Very often we see common messages in engine_A.log by agents saying "monitor procedure not completed within expected time" Now we all know, very common cause to this "server resources busy" thus agents not getting sufficient resources to complete the monitor cycle, this implies to most of the VCS agents. If it fails for more than 4 times ...
