Hi,
We got two AlphaServer 4100, each one with two KZPSA connected to an
HSZ50 which resides on an SW800 cabinet :
SW800:
BUS C: Node A KZPSA -------HSZ50---------KZPSA Node B
BUS D: KZPSA -------HSZ50---------KZPSA
The first KZPSA-HSZ50-KZPSA is bus C, and the second KZPSA-HSZ50-KZPSA
is bus D.
Actually, node A is accessing all the 22 disks on SW800 (through buses C
& D), and node B just access its own disks on SCSI local buses (however,
it can see all the 22 disks also). Node A has these disks configured
with LSM on a diskgroup different than rootdg.
What we plan to do (if possible) is to use B as a contingency node of
node A. We've tried to deport/import the diskgroup, but it doesnt works.
In that sense, we plan to add the SW800's disks to the node B LSM
database (with "voldiskadd rzb17", for example).
Is this safe ? Will the voldiskadd operation initialize the disks ? Any
previous experience ?
We know that this could be done with DECSafe ASE, but we would like to
know whether this works or not.
Thanks in advance
