3.4.6 Notes on Storage Systems

„

Do not change the vendor ID or product ID of a storage system. If you do, HDLM

will not be able to recognize the storage system.

„

Before you connect multiple storage systems to the same host, make sure that the

storage systems have unique serial numbers. If there is a duplication of serial

numbers, use a tool such as Disk Array Management Program to assign a unique

serial number to each device.

„

If you restart a storage system when using an hdisk that meets both of the

following conditions, the persistent reservation of the LU registered in this

volume group will be cancelled:

The

reserve_policy

attribute has been set to

PR_exclusive

.

The volume group has been activated.

Perform the procedure below to inactivate the volume group, and then re-activate

it. Also, when you perform a planned restart of a storage system, make sure you

perform the operation while the volume group is inactive.
1.

Execute the following command to inactivate the volume group:

# varyoffvg

volume-group-name

2.

Execute the following command to make sure that the inactivated volume

group is no longer displayed:

# lsvg -o

3.

Execute the following command to activate the volume group:

# varyonvg

volume-group-name

3.4.7 Notes on the Cluster

HDLM are installed, the cluster system may not operate correctly. If the

HDLM

Version

and

Service

Pack

Version

, which are displayed by executing the

following command, are the same, the versions of HDLM are the same:
