Re: hacmp 5.2 - adding filesystem to the cluster

You should update the VG definition on your standby server to include the
new filesystem. If you don't it will still work but a takeover may take a
little longer.
I used to do an "importvg -L" on the standby. You need to do some stuff on
the live node, too: there's a good example on the importvg man page.
It's possible that there's an option for doing this in the HACMP smit
panels.

We don't use HACMP any more, but when we did we had a cron job running daily
to check that the cluster was correctly synchronised. That would pick up on
new filesystems and changes to existing ones. I can't remember what the job
was, but it was based around standard HACMP tools and was fairly simple.
You might like to devise something similar yourself, if you haven't already.

Subject: hacmp 5.2 - adding filesystem to the cluster



Hello,

I have the volume-group "oraclevg" in my resource-group.
I did not specify any fs so hacmp uses all fs in oraclevg.

Furthermore I have an fs /some/fs that is in rootvg. I want to add it to the
resource-group / have it on the shared disks.

Do I have anything to do besides backup/delete/recreate (in
oraclevg)/restore ?

Regards, Holger
