[Veritas-ha] VCS failover for NetWorker Storage Node?
All, Has anyone written a successful application script that will stop and or failover a NetWorker storage node? Environment is Solaris 10, Foundation Suite 5.0 MP1 RP2, NetWorker 7.2. If the NetWorker backup is not running, our script has no issues. However, if a backup is running, the backup is not cleanly stopped. The storage node backs itself up to a disk device, which is SAN attached and mounted. Is there a way, on the storage node itself, to detect a running backup, kill it, then run the nsrmm commands to unmount the disks? Or kill any locally running backups? Thanks for any help! -- Bryan Bahnmiller [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Veritas-ha maillist - Veritas-ha@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-ha
Re: [Veritas-ha] VCS failover for NetWorker Storage Node?
Bryan - I haven't written one specifically for Networker, but have for many other applications. With I/O intensive software in general, there are a couple issues to be aware of. First, if a process is blocked for I/O, it won't be possible to kill it until the I/O returns. Second, timeout on such programs can be high, since they are spending most of their time in I/O operations with limited ability to respond to signals. You might have to increase a threshold to accommodate this. Are you able to kill the process on the command line and perform all the steps your script runs successfully?
