Description

node1# cp -p /etc/vxfenmode /etc/vxfenmode.test
node2# cp -p /etc/vxfenmode /etc/vxfenmode.test

node1# vi /etc/vxfenmode.test
node2# vi /etc/vxfenmode.test
change line scsi3_disk_policy=raw   to   scsi3_disk_policy=dmp

check that the ssh passwordless works :
root@node1 # ssh node2

check if fencing is started :
# gabconfig -a 
should show at least port a / b / h

# vxfenconfig -l
should show raw device name

node1# vxfenswap

Veritas vxfenswap version 6.0.300.000-GA Linux

The logfile generated for vxfenswap is /var/VRTSvcs/log/vxfen/vxfenswap.log.20107

node1# vxfenconfig -l
node2# vxfenconfig -l
should show dmp device name

check that /etc/vxfenmode has been changed correctly by the vxfenswap :
node1# cat /etc/vxfenmode
node2# cat /etc/vxfenmode

You can also check that the SCSI3-PR keys are still there on the disks :
node1# vxfenadm -s ALL -f /etc/vxfentab
node2# vxfenadm -s ALL -f /etc/vxfentab
