If you do not freeze the service group, the behavior of the LogicalDomain is unknown as it is dependent on the AlternateIO service group.Configuring preonline trigger for storage service groupsYou must configure preonline trigger in the following scenario:
Configuring VCS to manage a Logical Domain using services from multiple I/O domainsConfiguring VCS to manage a Logical Domain using services from multiple I/O domains241When the service groups configured in the StorageSG attribute of theAlternateIO resource are of fail over type, and if you accidentally bring storageservice groups online on another physical system in the cluster.It is possible to bring the storage service groups online on another physicalsystem because resources configured to monitor back-end storage servicesare present in different service groups on each physical system. Thus, VCScannot prevent resources coming online on multiple systems. This may causedata corruption.Note: Perform this procedure for storage service groups on each node.To configure preonline trigger for each service group listed in the StorageSGattribute■Run the following commands:# hagrp -modify stg-sg TriggerPath bin/AlternateIO/StorageSG# hagrp -modify stg-sg TriggersEnabled PREONLINEwhere stg-sg is the name of the storage service group■Set connection time out period for virtual disksWhen a disk device is not available, I/O services from the guest domain to thevirtual disks are blocked.Symantec recommends to set a connection time out period for each virtualdisk so that applications times out after the set period instead of waitingindefinitely. Run the following command:# ldm add-vdisk timeout=seconds disk_name \volume_name@service_name ldom■Fail over of LDom service group when all the I/O domains are down. When theattribute SysDownPolicy is set to AutoDisableNoOffline for a service group,the service group state would be changed to OFFLINE|AutoDisabled when thesystem on which the service group online goes down. Before auto-enablingthe service group and online the service group on any other nodes, it ismandatory to ensure that guest domain is stopped on the system (controldomain) that is down. This is particularly important when failure-policy ofthe master-domains is set to ignore.Consider the following scenario: The DomainFailurePolicy of the LDom resourceis set to {primary=”stop”} by default.If the guest domain need to be made available even when primary domain isrebooted or shut down for maintenance.
