Configuring the fire drill service group

This topic provides information on how to configure the fire drill service group.

To configure the fire drill service group

  1. Configure a fire drill service group similar to the application service group with the following exceptions:

    • The AutoFailOver attribute must be set to 0.

    • Network-related resources must not be configured.

    • The diskgroup names for the DiskGroup and the Mount resources in the fire drill service group must be appended with "_fd".

      For example, if the value of the DiskGroup attribute in the application service group is ccdg, then the corresponding value in the fire drill service group must be ccdg_fd.

      If the value of the BlockDevice attribute for the Mount resource in the application service group is /dev/vx/dsk/ccdg/ccvol, then the corresponding value in the fire drill service group must be /dev/vx/dsk/ccdg_fd/ccvol.

  2. Add a resource of type DiskGroupSnap. Define the TargetResName and the FDSiteName attributes for the DiskGroupSnap resource.

    See the Veritas Cluster Server Bundled Agents Reference Guide for attribute descriptions.

  3. Create a dependency such that the DiskGroup resource depends on the DiskGroupSnap resource.
  4. Create a group dependency such that the fire drill service group has an offline local dependency on the application service group.
