Re: vxfencoorddg in Veritas cluster

The syntax in the first command that you are using to create a dg is
wrong. It should be

vxdg -o coordinator=on init vxfencoorddg <vxdskname>=<solarisdskname>
........

Make sure the "solarisdskname" doesnt have any slice info in it.

Also after the dg is created for any vx commands the "-g" should be
used to specify the diskgroup. So your command to turn the coordinator
attribute is

vxdg -g vxfencoorddg set coordinator=on

Hi,

I'm trying to to initialize a diskgroup vxfencoorddg for i/o fencing,
but somehow the command keeps error out. So I'm forced to create a
diskgroup vxfencoorddg through vxdiskadm. In other words, my
vxfencoorddg is a normal diskgroup. When I try to set coordinator=on, I
still get errors. Here are the steps that I'd done:

Sol 10
VCS: 4.1
VXVM: 4.1

# vxfentsthdw -rm (it works fine & passed)

# vxdg -o coordinator=on init vxfencoorddg c3t0d0s0
Error out & provide a help usage.

# vxdiskadm ---> opt 1 ---> create vxfencoorddg diskgroup

# vxdg -o vxfencoorddg set coordinator=on
VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-776 Option vxfencoorddg not recognized,
recognized options are:

oradg enabled,cds 1164926270.41.vcs-test-phys1

Could someone please help me on how to set a coordinator attribute &
register my diskgroups to both nodes? Right now, all of the diskgroups
are seen in only 1 node. Any helps/suggestions are appreciated.

TIA,
-Chris
