Volume Groups In Disk Array On Aix

[landao]

Hello all!

I have IBM rs6000_1 and rs6000_1fb hosts machines and a shared disk array between this machines.

The disks & volume groups seen by both systems with alternate by doing the following commands manually. Thatis, I do:

On primary node (rs6000_1):

1. varyoffvg vg_name

2. exportvg vg_name

On secondary node (rs6000_1fb):

1. importvg -y vg_name hdisk#

2. varyonvg vg_name

After issuing this commands I am able to take control the valume group and have access to all the data in secondary machine that the primary machine had.

But problem that in the event of a disaster situation thatis primary node fail I could not switchover the volume group to the secondary machine. (without issuing above commands on the primary node.)

Best regards
