Adding a new system to an HA configuration

When adding a new system to an existing HA configuration, you must also add the system to the existing SFDB repository so that it can share the same repository data.

To add a new system to the SFDB repository

  1. After installing Veritas Storage Foundation for DB2, add the new system to the cluster.

    See the Veritas Cluster Server User's Guide.

  2. Make sure the system is running using the hasys command:

    # hasys -state
  3. Add the system to the Sfua_Base group by running the following command sequence:

    # haconf -makerw
    # hagrp -modify Sfua_Base SystemList -add new_sys sys_id
    # hares -modify sfua_ip Device new_sys_NIC -sys new_sys
    # haconf -dump -makero
  4. Copy the /etc/vx/vxdbed/.odbc.ini file from an existing node to the new system using a remote file copy utility such as rcp, tcp, or scp.

    For example, to use rcp:

    # rcp /etc/vx/vxdbed/.odbc.ini new_sys:/etc/vx/vxdbed
