Support of live migration for Solaris LDOMs with fencing configured in DMP mode
Consider the case where guest domains form a cluster and I/O fencing is configured in the cluster. If one of the guest domains which is part of the cluster need to be migrated from one physical system to another physical system, then following considerations need to be made.
Veritas recommends that the LDOMs configured as part of the cluster are on different Solaris hosts.
When a guest domain is migrated from one physical host to another,
if the guest domains are under VCS management from the control domain and data disks and co-ordinator disks are assigned from above mentioned Veritas qualified arrays, you can make use of ReregPGR attribute in LDOM agent.
it is recommended to run the vxdmpadm pgrrereg command manually immediately inside the guest domain after migration.
If the ReregPGR is enabled and if you use the hagrp -migrate VCS command to migrate, VCS will automatically re-registers the key. Refer to LDOM agent section in VCS bundled agents reference guide for more details.
The vxdmpadm pgrrereg command is tested and recommended with following arrays only:
Fujitsu ETERNUS DX440 S2
Fujitsu ETERNUS DX80 S2
EMC symmetrix VMAX
EMC symmetrix DMX
Hitachi VSP
For example in a typical setup the configuration for this environment:
- OS inside control and I/O domains: Solaris 11.1.
- OVM version: 3.0
- OS inside Guest LDOMs: Solaris 11.1.
- SFHA configured only inside LDOMs
