Modifying an existing resource in the replication service group

To modify an existing resource in the replication service group, you need to perform the following.

To modify a resource in an existing replication service group

  1. Verify VCS is running. From the Java Console, log on to the Primary site.
  2. On a clustered node on the Primary site, launch the configuration wizard from Start > All Programs > Veritas > Veritas Cluster Server > Configuration Tools > Volume Replicator Agent Configuration Wizard or, on Windows 2012 operating systems, from the Apps menu in the Start screen.
  3. Read the information on the Welcome panel. Click Next.
  4. In the Wizard Options panel, choose the Modify an existing replication service group option and then select the replication service group whose resources you want to modify from the list that is displayed in the pane. Click Next.
  5. In the Service Group Configuration panel view the information that is selected for the fields. Click Next.
  6. In the Disk Group and Replicated Volume Group Configuration panel, select the RVG whose resources you want to modify from the list that is displayed in the Available Replicated Volume pane. This enables the Next option.

    When you modify an existing replication service group, the Configure RVGPrimary resource for the selected RVG option is unavailable for selection.

    Click Next.

  7. When modifying an existing replication service group, the following options are enabled.

    Complete the IP Resource panel as follows:

    Create New IP resource

    Select this option to create a new IP resource for the resource that you create.

    Create a copy of an IP resource existing in another service group

    Select this option to create a copy of an IP resource that already exists in another service group. When you select this option the list of available IP resources are displayed in the Available IP Resources pane. Choose the required IP resource.

    Link to an IP resource existing in the current service group

    Select this option to establish a link to an IP resource within the current service group.

    This option cannot be used to link to an IP resource that lies outside the current service group.

    Note:

    All the resources in the replication service group, except VvrRvg and VMDg should be offline so that the IP address and subnet mask values of the IP resource can be modified.

    Modify IP resource

    Select this option to modify attributes of an existing IP resource. When you select this option, the list of available IP resources in the current service group are displayed in the Available IP Resources pane. Choose the required IP resource.

    Click Next to display the Network Configuration panel.

  8. Complete the Network Configuration panel as follows depending on the option that you had chosen in the preceding panel:

    • If you had chosen the Create New IP resource on the preceding panel, then complete the panel as follows:

      Virtual IP address

      Specify the virtual IP address in this field. Volume Replicatoruses this address for replication.

      Subnet Mask

      Enter the subnet mask that is provided in field provided.

      Adapter Display Name (Mac address)

      Specify the correct adapter name (Mac address) of each system to which you want to assign the IP resource and the corresponding NIC resource, in the Adapter Display Name column.

    • If you had chosen any one of the options; to create a copy of an existing IP resource, link to an existing IP resource or modify an existing resource, then the panel is filled up as described in the following table. However, you can edit the information on this panel to change it to values that you require:

      Virtual IP address

      Because the IP specified for replication has a resource that is created in the cluster, if copy option is selected, the wizard copies that IP and the corresponding NIC resource to the replication service group.

      If the link option is selected, then, the Network Configuration panel displays the value of the IP resource to which the selected RVG resource is linked.

      Subnet Mask

      If the resource for the IP already exists then the wizard disables the Subnet Mask field and other inputs as these values are taken from the existing IP resource.

      If no resource has been created for the specified IP then you can enter a subnet mask value and choose the proper adapter on each system.

      Adapter Display Name (Mac address)

      The appropriate adapter name (Mac address) is displayed for each system.

    Click Next.
  9. In the Service Group Summary panel modify the resource name. Click on the resource name in the left pane to modify the name. After you are done, click Next to proceed with creating the resources.

    A warning informing you that the service group will be created is displayed. Click Yes to proceed.

  10. After the resources have been successfully modified, the completion panel appears. Click Finish to complete the procedure and exit the wizard.
