Cluster Testing

• Monitor the cluster log files on NodeT.
• Disconnect the network cable from the appropriate service and all the
standby interfaces at the same time (but not the Administrative SP
Ethernet) on NodeF. This will cause HACMP to detect a network_down
event.
• HACMP triggers events dependent on your configuration of the
network_down event. By default, no action is triggered by the
network_down event.
• Verify that the expected action has occurred.
6.2.4 Disk Failure
The following sections deal with issues of disk failure.
6.2.4.1 Mirrored rootvg Disk (hdisk0) Failure
Perform the following steps in case of mirrored rootvg disk (hdisk0) failure:
• Check, by way of the verification commands, that all the Nodes in the
cluster are up and running.
• Verify that the bootlist contains hdisk0 and hdisk1, if for example, hdisk1 is
the mirror of hdisk0 (
bootlist -m normal -o
).
• Optional: Prune the error log on NodeF (
errclear 0
).
• Monitor cluster logfiles on NodeT if HACMP has been customized to
monitor SCSI disk failures.
• Slide back cover/casing on NodeF to get access to hdisk0 (this may first
require turning the key to service mode). Pull the power cable (several
colored wires with a white plastic connector) from the rear of hdisk0 (the
lower internal disk is hdisk0, and the upper internal disk is hdisk1 on most
systems). If you have a hot-pluggable disk, just pull the disk out of the
frame.
• The failure of hdisk0 should be detected in the error log (
errpt -a | more
)
on NodeF.
• Verify that all rootvg file systems and paging spaces are accessible (
df;
lsps -a
).
• Shutdown (
smit clstop
;
shutdown -F
) and power off NodeF.
• Turn key to normal mode, power on NodeF, and verify that the system
boots correctly. Log in and verify that all the rootvg file systems have been
mounted (
df
).
• Shutdown (
shutdown -F
) and power off NodeF.
