Adding the nodes from the secondary zone to the RVG service group
Use the Volume Replicator Agent Configuration Wizard to add the nodes from the secondary zone to the RVG.
Note:
In case of a non-shared storage environment, perform this task manually using the Java Console. You cannot use the wizard to modify the RVG service group.
To add the nodes from the secondary zone to the RVG
- From the active node of the cluster in the primary zone, launch the Volume Replicator Agent Configuration Wizard from the Apps menu on the Start screen.
- Read and verify the requirements on the Welcome page, and click Next.
- In the Wizard Options dialog box, do the following, in the order presented:
Click Modify an existing replication service group. The existing replication service group is selected, by default.
Click Next.
- If a VCS notice message appears, asking if you want to continue, click Yes.
- Specify the system priority list. Do the following in the order presented:
In the Available Cluster Systems box, click the nodes in the secondary zone to add to the service group, and click the right-arrow icon to move the nodes to the service group's system list.
To remove a node from the service group's system list, click the node in the Systems in Priority Order box, and click the left arrow icon.
To change the priority of a node in the system list, click the node in the Systems in Priority Order box, then click the up and down arrow icons. The node at the top of the list has the highest priority.
To enable the service group to automatically come online on one of the systems, select the Include selected systems in the service group's AutoStartList attribute checkbox.
For information about the AutoStartList attribute, see the Cluster Server Administrator's Guide.
Click Next.
- If a message appears, indicating that the configuration will be changed from Read Only to Read/Write, click Yes to continue.
- Review the Disk Group and Replicated Volume Group Configuration and click Next.
- In the IP Resource Options dialog box, select Modify IP resource and click Next.
- If a VCS error appears, click OK.
- In the Network Configuration dialog box, verify that the selected adapters are correct and click Next.
- Review the summary of the service group configuration. In the Resources box, click a resource to view its attributes and their configured values in the Attributes box.
- Click Next to modify the replication service group.
- When prompted, click Yes to modify the service group.
- Click Finish.
Note:
Use the following procedure if the RVG service group contains a VMNSDg resource (non-shared storage environment).
To add nodes from the secondary zone to the RVG service group using Java Console
- From VCS Cluster Explorer, in the left pane, right-click the RVG service group and select View > Properties View.
- In the Attributes window, click Show all attributes.
- From the attributes list, select the attribute SystemList and click the Edit icon.
- In the Edit Attribute window, edit the SystemList attribute as follows:
Click the + button to add an empty row.
In the System field type the cluster node name from the secondary zone.
In the Priority field type 1.
Click OK.
- Close the Attributes windows.
