Setting Up VCS

When VCS is installed on an HDLM host, you can register HDLM devices, or

VxVM disk groups containing HDLM devices, as resource groups.

For details on registering resource groups, refer to the VCS documentation.

Notes

The I/O fencing functionality only supports the configurations shown in

the following table.

When using the vxfentsthdw command of the I/O fencing function to test

HDLM devices, make sure that among all nodes, there is only one path to

the HDLM devices that are to be tested that is online. Use the HDLM

command offline operation to change the status of other paths to

offline, and then test the devices. If there are any nodes that have more

than one online path, the vxfentsthdw command will end abnormally.

When using the VCS I/O fencing function, we recommend that you enable

the HDLM path health checking function with a one-minute checking

interval.
In addition, use the following formula to calculate the minimum value to

be set for OfflineTimeout of the DiskGroup resource that is specified for

the disk group that has used an HDLM device:
value-to-be-set = a + ((b - 1) × (c + 0.5 × (d - 1)))
a: The checking interval for the HDLM path health checking function
b: The number of paths for each HDLM device

#1

c: The I/O timeout value for the sd or ssd driver
