What do you mean by "the system cannot recognize the disks"? Do you mean the OS loses visibility to the data in the SAN? Disconnecting the fiber cable should not prevent the OS from recognizing the volume presented by Powerpath.
Would anyone know why a V440 Solaris 9 machine's interfaces (ce0 and ce1)
will not failover?
Both interfaces are on the same subnet, but different IPs. I can pull the plug on once interface (ce0) and ce1 will be accessible. I can reverse it and pull ce1, and ce0 will NOT be accessible. ... (5 Replies)
We are looking at running MPIO for it's redundancy and load balancing benefits. Does anyone know what pieces of software or modules are needed on the VIO server to get load balancing to work. Remember we are using EMC's DMX3500 storage system. We no longer want to use Powerpath. :rolleyes: ... (2 Replies)
Hi,
I have 3 directories (/1 /2 and /3) with same contents and want to achieve fail over among them.
The Solution i thought of:
1. link /data to /1 (and provide users with /data to access)
2. CRON a script (to run every minute) to verify if /1 exist or not, if it does not exist (or its... (3 Replies)
All,
I am looking to setup a simple IP failover setup, but it seems every place i look has some difficult setup like pacemaker or LVS.
I only want to handle the IP piece to failover a VIP.
Any suggestions? I checked out keepalived and that my work for me. (4 Replies)

I'm trying to auto-mount EMC Symmetrix BCV device at boot.
but having problem making BCV available.
I put script called mkbcv to the inittab and engineer suggested to add
120 sec sleep between cfgmgr so I did that also.
My mkbcv script seems to be working fine, it says "hdisk4 Available" ... (1 Reply)

mkqdisk
mkqdisk(8) Quorum Disk Management mkqdisk(8)NAME
mkqdisk - Cluster Quorum Disk Utility
WARNING
Use of this command can cause the cluster to malfunction.
SYNOPSIS
mkqdisk [-?|-h] | [-L] | [-f label] [-c device -l label] [-d [-d ...]]
DESCRIPTION
The mkqdisk command is used to create a new quorum disk or display existing quorum disks accessible from a given cluster node.
OPTIONS -c device -l label
Initialize a new cluster quorum disk. This will destroy all data on the given device. If a cluster is currently using that device
as a quorum disk, the entire cluster will malfunction. Do not run this on an active cluster when qdiskd is running. Only one
device on the SAN should ever have the given label; using multiple different devices is currently not supported (it is expected a
RAID array is used for quorum disk redundancy). The label can be any textual string up to 127 characters - and is therefore enough
space to hold a UUID created with uuidgen(1).
-f label
Find the cluster quorum disk with the given label and display information about it.
-L Display information on all accessible cluster quorum disks.
-d Increase debugging level. Specify multiple times for more information. Currently, specifying more than twice has no effect.
