Configuring VCS service groups to manage the LPAR

You must configure a VCS service group to manage the LPAR.

To configure LPAR service groups

  1. Create a failover service group for LPAR.
  2. Set the PhysicalServer attribute of all the systems (which are management LPARs) using the name of the physical server (managed system name).
  3. Set SysDownPolicy = { "AutoDisableNoOffline" } for this group.
  4. Configure all the cluster nodes (management LPARs) in the SystemList attribute where the managed LPAR can fail over.
  5. Configure LPAR resource for the managed LPAR.

The sample main.cf for a VCS failover cluster for managed LPARs:

include "types.cf"

cluster cluster01 (
        )

system aixnode55mp1 (
        PhysicalServer = sys1
        )

system aixnode56mp1 (
        PhysicalServer = sys2
        )



group LPAR_aixnode5556mp2 (
        SystemList = { aixnode55mp1 = 0, aixnode56mp1 = 1 }
        SysDownPolicy = { AutoDisableNoOffline }
        )

        LPAR aixnode5556mp2 (
                LPARName = aixnode5556mp2
                MCUser = { hscroot, hscroot }
                MCName = { hmc6, hmc7 }
                VIOSName @aixnode55mp1 = { aixnode55vio1, aixnode55vio2 }
                VIOSName @aixnode56mp1 = { aixnode56vio1, aixnode56vio2 }
                RestartLimit = 1
                )
