PowerPath in a Cluster Environment

Editing main.cf to Include EMCTypes.cf

Edit the /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf file on one node. The changes are propagated to the other nodes in the cluster when you start VCS on those nodes.

You do not need to perform this procedure if GeoSpan 2.0 is installed on the host.

To edit the main.cf file:

1.Verify that the PowerPath Volume Manager VCS Agent is installed on the host. Enter:

pkginfo -l EMCvg

2.Save the current /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf file to a backup location. For example, enter:

cp /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf.orig

3.Add the following line to the beginning of

/etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf:

include "EMCTypes.cf"

4.Verify that there are no errors in the edited main.cf file. Enter: hacf -verify config

If the verification is successful, no output is displayed. Otherwise, note the error and correct it in the main.cf file.
