Can VVR be configured to share CFS volumes?
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 8 comments
We are using Solaris 9 update 8 with VVR 5.1 and we would like to replicate 2 out 10 volumes on shared disks groups to our diaster recover site. Can I use an existing disk goup that is shared ?

VVR 4.1 supports shared, see the agents for VVR there are 3 for non-shared and 3 for shared. This is also covered in the product documentation.
I will give it a try. Sorry VVR is 4.1.
From the VVR 4.1 Admin Guide:
VVR enables you to replicate data volumes in a shared disk group environment, for use
with parallel applications that use VERITAS Cluster Server (VCS) for high availability.
You can replicate data volumes in a shared disk-group to a remote site, for disaster
recovery or off-host processing.
I figured it was 4.1. If not I wanted to know how you got 5.1 before 5.0 was released.
I am still having problems. We have a share_dg amongst 4 servers and VVR is license on server 2 for instance. The master is server 1 and we kept getting VVR licensing errors. How do we switch the master without shutting down the system?
And the big question will this work? Or will all the servers need to be VVR licensed. We had that problem with HSM(Storage Migrator).
I think you will find all have to be licensed.
That's what it looks like. I got the word from Tech Support.

The limit in 4.1 is 2 node CVM clusters. You cannot do this with 4 nodes.
