Refreshing keys or registrations on the existing coordination points for disk-based fencing using the installer
You must refresh registrations on the coordination points in the following scenarios:
When the CoordPoint agent notifies VCS about the loss of registration on any of the existing coordination points.
A planned refresh of registrations on coordination points when the cluster is online without having an application downtime on the cluster.
Registration loss may happen because of an accidental array restart, corruption of keys, or some other reason. If the coordination points lose the registrations of the cluster nodes, the cluster may panic when a network partition occurs.
Warning:
Refreshing keys might cause the cluster to panic if a node leaves membership before the coordination points refresh is complete.
To refresh registrations on existing coordination points for disk-based I/O fencing using the installer
- Start the installer with the -fencing option.
# /opt/VRTS/install/installer -fencing
The installer starts with a copyright message and verifies the cluster information.
Note down the location of log files that you can access if there is a problem with the configuration process.
- Confirm that you want to proceed with the I/O fencing configuration at the prompt.
The program checks that the local node running the script can communicate with the remote nodes and checks whether SF Oracle RAC 7.4.1 is configured properly.
- Review the I/O fencing configuration options that the program presents. Type the number corresponding to refresh registrations or keys on the existing coordination points.
Select the fencing mechanism to be configured in this Application Cluster [1-6,q]
- Ensure that the disk group constitution that is used by the fencing module contains the same disks that are currently used as coordination disks.
- Verify the coordination points.
For example, Disk Group: fendg Fencing disk policy: dmp Fencing disks: emc_clariion0_62 emc_clariion0_65 emc_clariion0_66
Is this information correct? [y,n,q] (y).
