Administering VCS service groups

This section explains how to administer a VCS service group for cluster Seattle from the command line. Note that you can also use the VCS Java and Web consoles to administer service groups.

To administer a VCS service group

  1. Start the VCS engine on seattle1:
    # hastart
  2. Verify that all the service groups that contain RVG resource type are brought online:
    # hagrp -display
  3. Take the service group offline and verify that all resources are stopped:
    # hagrp -offline hr_grp -sys seattle1
    # hagrp -display
  4. Bring the service group online again and verify that all resources are available:
    # hagrp -online hr_grp -sys seattle1
    # hagrp -display
  5. Start the VCS engine on seattle2:
    # hastart
  6. Switch the VVR service group to seattle2:
    # hagrp -switch hr_grp -to seattle2
  7. Verify that all the service groups that contain RVG resource type are brought online on seattle2:
    # hagrp -display
  8. Repeat step 1 through step 7 for the cluster London.
  9. If required, check the following log files on any system for the status or any errors:

    /var/VRTSvcs/log/engine_A.log

    /var/VRTSvcs/log/RVG_A.log
