This is the site name that fire drill disks use. This name must be distinct for each site. You need to assign this local (per system) values as it maps to the SystemZone of the application service group. For more information about the SystemZone attribute, refer to the Veritas Cluster Server User's Guide.
You can run the fire drill in the following two configurations:
-
Use a dedicated set of disks at the secondary that have been set aside for fire drill use. In this case, you must set the FDSiteName attribute to the VxVM site name given to this set of disks. This setup is commonly referred to as the Gold configuration.
-
Use the same disks that make up the mirror at the secondary site. In this case, you must set the FDSiteName attribute to the VxVM site name of the secondary site. This setup is commonly referred to as the Bronze configuration.
Type and dimension: string-scalar
Example:
When the application service group has the following values for the SystemZones attribute:
SystemZones = { n1 = 0, n2 = 0, n3 = 1, n4 = 1 }
Where n1 (node 1) and n2 (node 2) comprise the first site and where the second site has n3 (node 3) and n4 (node 4). The FDSiteName definitions in the fire drill service group resemble the following:
-
"FDSiteName@n1=fdpri"
-
"FDSiteName@n2=fdpri"
-
"FDSiteName@n3=fdsec"
-
"FDSiteName@n4=fdsec"
The fdpri and fdsec values are the site names of dedicated fire drill site disks at the primary and secondary sites respectively.
