Using VM without DMP Enabled

VCS Application Note: Sun E10000 Dynamic Reconfiguration

7.

When you have successfully attached the CPU/Memory board, unfreeze any frozen 
service groups:

hagrp -unfreeze

 

ser_grp_name

Repeat for each service group.

8.

Verify that VCS is still up and running.

Using VM without DMP Enabled

If you have the Volume Manager DMP feature disabled for some or all of the disks in the 
shared storage, and you must perform DR operations within the cluster, we recommend 
using the VCS DiskReservation agent to guard against data corruption. In the event of a 
“split-brain” condition, that is, when two processors in a cluster can simultaneously write 
to the shared storage, the DiskReservation agent ensures that only one processor has 
access to the storage at one time. See the 

VCS Bundled Agents Reference Guide

 for 

information on configuring the DiskReservation agent.
