and the data written to the PVOL side after the hardware

 

failure may be loss.

 

This parameter is not required to be set if a package is

 

configured for three data centers environment because three

 

data center does not support Asynchronous mode of data

 

replication. Leave this parameter with its default value in all

 

data centers.

AUTO_SVOLPSUS

(Default = 0)

 

This parameter applies when the PVOL and SVOL both have

 

the state of suspended (PSUS). The problem with this situation

 

is we cannot determine the previous state: COPY or PAIR.

 

If the previous state was PAIR, it is completely safe to startup

 

the package at the remote site. If the previous state was

 

COPY, the data at the SVOL site is likely to be inconsistent

 

Values:

 

0—(Default) Do NOT startup the package at the secondary

 

site. Require user intervention to either fix the problem by

 

resynchronizing the PVOL and SVOL or force the package

 

to start on this node by creating the FORCEFLAG file.

 

1 – Startup the package after making the SVOL writable.

 

The risk of using this option is the SVOL data may be

 

inconsistent and the application may fail. However, there

 

is also a chance that the data is actually consistent, and it

 

is okay to startup the application.

 

If the package has been configured for a three data center

 

environment, this parameter is applicable only when the

 

package is attempting to start up in either the primary (DC1)

 

or secondary (DC2) data center. This parameter is not

 

relevant in (the third data center) in the recovery cluster. Use

 

this parameter’s default value in the third data center.

CLUSTER_TYPE

This parameter defines the clustering environment in which

 

the script is used. Should be set to “metro” if this is a

 

Metrocluster environment and “continental” if this is a

 

Continentalclusters environment. A type of “metro” is

 

supported only when the HP Metrocluster product is installed.

 

A type of “continental” is supported only when the HP

 

Continentalclusters product is installed.

 

If the package is configured for three data centers (3DC),

 

the value of this parameter must be set to “metro” for DC1

 

and DC2 nodes and “continental” for DC3 nodes.

DEVICE_GROUP

The Raid Manager device group for this package. This

 

device group is defined in the /etc/horcm<#>.conf file.

 

This parameter is not required to be set for a package

 

configured for three data centers environment. Device groups

 

for three data center's packages have new parameters.

3DC_TOPOLOGY

This parameter is the differentiator between packages

 

configured for two data centers (2DC) and three data centers

 

(3DC). Unlike packages configured for two data centers

 

(2DC), this parameter must be set for a package configured

 

for a three data center environment.

 

This parameter can has the following values:

 

1. multi-hop-Bi-Link: (DEFAULT) When the package is

 

configured for 1:1:1, or cascaded, or multi hop
