Hello Lou, Please ensure that the resource switchover/failover procedures take care of the dismounting and mounting of appropriate diskgroups on the relevant environments (going-to-be-passive and going-to-be-active node). So, no dangling file descriptors (howsoever remote a possibility ) or anything that prevents exclusive access to those disk groups on the surviving node). -Rajeev On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 2:42 PM, Lou Avrami <avramil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello all, > > I suggested that we use Automatic Storage Management, but the UNIX/storage > admins seem to feel that this is not compatible with VCS.
