MountV agent optional attributes (continued)<br />

Optional Attributes<br />

ForceUnmount<br />

Description<br />

Defines whether or not the agent unmounts the volume (gracefully or forcibly) when<br />

it is being used by other applications.<br />

The attribute can take the following values:<br />

■<br />

■<br />

■<br />

■<br />

NONE: The agent does not unmount the volume if an application is accessing it.<br />

READ_ONLY: The agent tries to enumerate the open handles in READ_ONLY mode<br />

to the configured mount points and then gracefully unmounts the mount points<br />

even if applications are accessing it in READ_ONLY mode.<br />

ALL: The agent forcefully unmounts the volume irrespective of the type of access<br />

an application has. The agent first tries to obtain exclusive access to the configured<br />

mount point. The agent makes this attempt twice, with half a second delay between<br />

each unsuccessful attempt. If it fails to lock the volume even after 2 attempts, it<br />

proceeds with the unmount operation.<br />

CLOSE_FORCE: The agent does not try to lock the configured mount points and<br />

proceeds directly with the forceful unmount operation.<br />

Note: Forceful unmount may potentially cause a data corruption. When you use<br />

ForceUnmount with CLOSE_FORCE, then before you switch or take the MountV<br />

resources offline, verify that none of the applications are accessing the configured<br />

mount points.<br />

Default is READ_ONLY.<br />

If you have enabled Intelligent Monitoring Framework (IMF) and fast failover in your<br />

cluster environment, Symantec recommends that you set this attribute value to ALL.<br />

This reduces the failover time as the agent does not require additional time to gracefully<br />

close the read-only handles on the volume.<br />

Type and Dimension: string-scalar<br />

ListApplications<br />

Defines whether the agent lists the applications accessing the volume while unmounting.<br />

The value 1 indicates that the agent lists the applications; the value 0 indicates that it<br />

does not.<br />

Default is 0.<br />

If you have enabled Intelligent Monitoring Framework (IMF) and fast failover in your<br />

cluster environment, Symantec recommends that you set this attribute value to 0.<br />

This reduces the failover time as the agent does not enumerate the applications that<br />

are accessing the volume.<br />

Type and Dimension: boolean-scalar
