Creating the primary system zone for the application service group

In the application service group, set up systems in the primary zone (zone 0) to specify that initial failover occurs to systems within the primary zone.

To set up the primary system zone

  1. From VCS Cluster Manager (Java Console), log on to the cluster.
  2. In the left pane and the Properties tab in the right pane, select the service group.
  3. In the Properties pane, click Show All Attributes.
  4. In the Attributes View, scroll down and select the SystemZones attribute.
  5. Click the Edit icon for the SystemZones attribute.
  6. In the Edit Attribute dialog box, click the plus sign and enter the systems and the zone number (zone 0) for the primary zone.

    In case of a non-shared storage configuration, add only the single node to the primary zone.

  7. Click OK.

After setting up the primary system zone, you can verify the service group failover on systems within the primary zone.
