Adding Data Protection for SAP to a HACMP resource group

Edit online

A final step in enabling Data Protection for SAP for HACMP™ failover is to define it to a cluster resource group.

Before you begin

Although the HACMP for AIX® Installation Guide can be reviewed for detailed instructions, a high-level summary is provided here. Perform these tasks to define the resources that are part of a resource group:

Procedure

  1. From the Cluster Resources SMIT screen, select the Change/Show Resources/Attributes for a Resource Group option and press Enter. SMIT displays a picklist of defined resource groups.
  2. Pick the wanted resource group. Press Enter and SMIT displays the Configure a Resource Group screen.
  3. Enter values that define all the resources you want to add to this resource group.
  4. After you enter field values, synchronize cluster resources.
  5. Press F10 to exit SMIT or F3 to return to previous SMIT screens to run other configuration tasks or synchronize the changes that you just made. To synchronize the cluster definition, go to the Cluster Resources SMIT screen and select the Synchronize Cluster Resources option.

What to do next

The IBM Storage Protect™ client application must be added to the same resource group that contains the file systems it will back up. The file systems that are defined in the resource group are to also be the ones that are specified in the domain for this client instance in the client user options file. Both JFS and NFS file systems can be defined as cluster resources, although NFS supports only two node clusters in a cascading takeover relationship.
