Creating Disk Monitoring Requests

Resources to Monitor for Mirrored Disks

This section is valid for mirrored disks created with MirrorDisk/UX. Mirroring is required to be PVG-strict if you are using the disk monitor. Mirrored conﬁgurations that are not PVG-strict will not give you a correct pv_summary.

To adequately monitor mirrored disks, create requests for the following resources for all volume groups on a node:

/vg/vgName/pv_summary

vg/vgName/pv_pvlink/status/* vg/vgName/lv_summary vg/vgName/lv/copies/*

This gives you summary status of all physical volumes in a volume group. A high availability system must be conﬁgured PVG strict. If not, pv_summary cannot accurately determine disk availability.

This gives you the status of each physical disk and links.

This gives you the status of data availability for logical volumes.

This gives you the total number of copies of data currently available.

Figure 2-5 represents two nodes with 2-way mirrored conﬁguration with 10 disks on 2 busses. Both copies are in a single volume group. Assume you want to be notiﬁed when any physical device fails, and when you only have one copy of data, or when there is an MC/ServiceGuard failover. To conﬁgure this last request, you must duplicate your MC/ServiceGuard package dependency. See Chapter 1 “Conﬁguring MC/ServiceGuard Package Dependencies”.
