Configuring a CVM cluster

Configuring a Cluster Volume Manager (CVM) cluster involves the following two tasks:

Preparing a cluster for CVM using either the GUI-based SFW Configuration Wizard for Microsoft Failover Cluster or the CLI-based ffconfigcli utility.

Note:

The wizard or the utility servers dual purpose. It is used for configuring CVM for a Hyper-V environment. It is also used to enable fast failover in Microsoft Failover Clustering for a physical environment.

If the nodes participating in the CVM cluster are on multi-subnet cluster networks, then you need to use the CLI-based SFWConnectionManager utility to configure a CVM link for the nodes. For more information,

Creating a cluster-shared disk group (CSDG) and cluster-shared volume.

The SFW Configuration Wizard for Microsoft Failover Cluster sets up a configuration for CVM cluster to communicate over the underlying Microsoft Failover Clustering networks.

A dynamic volume that is created under a CSDG is automatically configured in the Microsoft failover cluster as a Volume Manager Shared Volume resource.

Note:

For CVM clusters, Veritas recommends that you use a physical disk as the quorum resource.

Note:

Before configuring CVM, ensure that the Volume Manager Shared Volume resource has been registered. If not, then you need to register it manually. For information about registering the resource manually, refer to the Veritas InfoScale Installation and Upgrade Guide.
