You can set up the VCS agents to automate failover of the bunker when the Primary fails over within a local cluster. This step is not required if the bunker is set up using the IP protocol. For IP protocol, the bunker setup is the same whether the Primary is a single node or a VCS cluster.

When a bunker is set up using the STORAGE protocol, the disk group containing the bunker RVG is imported on the Primary host. If the Primary RVG is in a VCS cluster, the bunker RVG must remain online on the same node on which the parent application RVG is online.

In a private disk group environment, the RVG resource handles the failover process. If the host on which the RVG resource is online fails, the RVG resource fails over to another host within the cluster. The RVG resource ensures that the bunker RVG also fails over, so that the bunker RVG continues to be on the same host with the parent RVG.

To set up automated failover of the bunker RVG, specify the bunker RVG, the bunker disk group, and the bunker host using the following attributes of the RVG resource in the application service group or the RVGLogowner agent:

The attributes are the only specific attributes that differ for an RDS containing a bunker. The rest of the configuration for the VCS Agents for VVR is the same as for any other RDS.
