VMDg agent optional attributes (continued)
Optional Attributes
VxSVCRestartAttempts
Description
The number of times the agent attempts to restart the failed VxSVC service before
shutting down the system. This attribute is considered only when VxSVCFailAction
is set to SHUTDOWN.
Default is 10.
Type and Dimension: integer-scalar
FastFailOver
This attribute decides whether or not a disk group is enabled for fast failover.
The value 1 indicates that the agent enables fast failover for the configured disk group.
The value 0 indicates that fast failover is disabled for the disk group.
Default is 0.
Type and Dimension: boolean-scalar
Sample configuration
VMDg DG_VCSDG (
DiskGroupName = VCSDG
ListMountedVolumes = 1
DGGuid = fb69e244-930f-479e-b9f5-c54449fe2fc0
)
MountV agent
The MountV agent mounts, monitors, and unmounts volumes on cluster disk
groups imported using the Veritas Storage Foundation for Windows. The agent
supports volumes formatted using the NTFS, FAT, and FAT32 file systems.
When a cluster disk group fails over to another system, the MountV agent ensures
the new system accesses the volume in the same way it was accessed before
failover. The MountV agent ensures a consistent device path by mounting the
disk group with the same mount point (drive letter) on the new system. The agent
also mounts a volume as an NTFS folder. The agent ensures proper dismounting
from a failed system when a resource or group is taken offline. When a volume is
mounted, VCS creates an administrative share to enable remote administration
of the disk.
The agent performs a file system check when it brings the resource online. If a
drive letter is already assigned to the volume, the agent skips the file system
check, and declares the resource online. Note that the volume to be monitored
using the MountV agent must not be mounted multiple times.
