Configuring site consistency on a disk group

Having configured site-based allocation on a disk group, turn on the site consistency requirement for a disk group by using the vxdg command:

# vxdg -g diskgroup set siteconsistent=on

See "Configuring site-based allocation on a disk group" on page 413.

This command does not set the siteconsistent attribute on existing volumes in the disk group. Although newly created volumes inherit the setting from the disk group, it does not change when the disk group setting is changed.

See "Configuring site consistency on a volume" on page 414.

All the disks in a disk group must be registered to one of the sites before you can set the siteconsistent attribute on the disk group.

To verify whether site consistency has been enabled for a disk group, use the following command:

# vxdg list diskgroup | grep siteconsistent

flags: siteconsistent

To turn off the site consistency requirement for a disk group, use the following command:

# vxdg -g diskgroup set siteconsistent=off
