Configure the AlternateIO resource
The AlternateIO resource monitors storage and network services that are exported to a guest Logical Domain. The AlternateIO resource is not dependent on storage or network resources. However, its state depends upon the state of storage or network service groups.
Figure: shows that the AlternateIO resource does not have any dependency on storage or network resources.
Configuration parameter | Description |
---|---|
StorageSG attribute | This attribute is a key value pair. A storage service group is the key and the value of the key can either be 0 or 1. Set the value of the key to 1 to bring the service group online when the AlternateIo resource comes online and to take the service group offline when the AlternateIo resource goes offline. Localize the StorageSG attribute of the AlternateIO resource with the list of storage service groups that are configured on each node. AlternateIO altiores1 ( StorageSG @primary1 = { primary1-strsg1 = 1 } StorageSG @primary2 = { primary2-strsg1 = 1 } ) |
NetworkSG attribute | This attribute is a key value pair. A network service group is the key and the value of the key can either be 0 or 1. Set the value of the key to 1 to bring the service group online when the AlternateIo resource comes online and to take the service group offline when the AlternateIo resource goes offline. Localize the NetworkSG attribute of the AlternateIO resource with the list of network service groups that are configured on each node. AlternateIO altiores1 ( NetworkSG @primary1 = { primary1-nwsg = 0 } NetworkSG @primary2 = { primary2-nwsg = 0 } ) |
Preonline trigger | For any of the service groups configured in the StorageSG or NetworkSG attributes, if you set the value to 1, configure the preonline trigger at the service group level. Configuring the preonline trigger ensures that service groups listed in the StorageSG attributes are offline on all systems except onto the system where failover or a manual switch over is initiated. For information on enabling the preonline trigger, see Configure service group to monitor services from multiple I/O domains. |
