Rules for Using the EMS Disk Monitor with MC/ServiceGuard

The pv_summary is calculated based on the compiled results of SCSI inquiries to all physical volumes in a volume group. To help you determine the best way to configure your disks for monitoring, here are the assumptions made when calculating pv_summary:

PVGs (physical volume groups) are set up to be bus-specific sides of a mirror or redundant links and have an equal number of physical volumes.

All logical volumes within a volume group are mirrored in the same way: all 2-way or all 3-way mirroring.

A package depends on all logical volumes in the volume group.

The SCSI inquiry will retry on devices that are BUSY. BUSY devices are not considered UP when calculating pv_summary.

These rules apply when creating PVGs, if they are not followed, pv_summary will not be available for monitoring:

If PVGs are used, all physical volumes in a volume group must be in a PVG.

All PVGs in a volume group must have the same number of physical volumes.
