Hitachi AMS 2000 Family Command Control Interface (CCI) Reference Guide
Sharing volumes in a
hot standby
configuration
When a paired volume is used for the disk shared by the hosts in a hot
standby configuration using HA software, use the primary volume as the
shared disk and describe the corresponding hosts using the paired volume in
the configuration definition file as shown below. In the HA configuration, if a
CCI command issued by host C fails in host B (because host B has gone down,
a command device IO_ERROR occurred, or both), host A is connected and
command execution is retried.
Linkage with HA
software
The HORCM must not be an object of the process monitored by the HA
software (cluster manager), because HORCM should run at the same level as
the cluster manager.
Note: Do not use the pair volume for the cluster lock disk that HA software
uses for election.
Maintenance
A HORCM restart is required if the array configuration is changed (for
example, firmware exchange, cache memory install or uninstall).
Command device
Each CCI command is executed by issuing a command to the command
device. This command is read or written from or into the specific block area
of the command device. Therefore, you cannot use the command device. In
addition, this device must not belong to an LVM volume group. For Windows
systems, do not assign a drive letter to the command device to prevent
utilization by general users.
Alternate path
restrictions
If the P-VOL and S-VOL are on the same host, an alternate path from P-VOL
to S-VOL cannot be used. Use of alternate path to a volume pair is limited to
primary (secondary) volumes.
HORCM failure to
activate
After a new system has been constructed, failure to activate HORCM may
occur due to an improper environmental setting, configuration definition by
you, or both. Refer to the HORCM activation log, and correct the settings.
