Configuring Veritas Cluster Server to fail over an application on a failure

You must install and configure Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) in the guest domains of each system to enable VCS to manage applications in the guest domains.

To configure Veritas Cluster Server to manage applications in the guest domains

  1. Install and configure VCS in the guest domains of each system.

    See the Veritas Cluster Server Installation Guide for installation and configuration instructions.

  2. Create two virtual NICs using private virtual switches for private interconnects.

    You can configure virtual switches with no physical network interfaces if you want the failover across LDoms in the same control domain.

  3. Configure VCS service group for the application that you want to monitor.

    • Configure Mount and Disk resources to monitor the storage.

    • Configure NIC resources to monitor the network.

    • Configure application resources using the application-specific agent.

    See the Veritas Cluster Server User's Guide for more details on configuring applications and resources in VCS.

    See the Veritas Cluster Server Bundled Agents Reference Guide for details on the storage and networking bundled agents.
