Monitoring Disk Resources

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.
