Adding New Node Veritas Cluster Server with different hardware specification
Dear Experts,
I need your suggestion on the below:
Currently we have Two Node Veritas Cluster 6.2 running Windows 2008 R2 hosted on HPE DL380 G7 Servers. We are planning to refresh the hardware and want to move all workloads to new HPE DL380 G9/G10 Servers with Veritas Cluster 6.2 being deployed on Windows 2008 R2. It will only hardware refresh without any Application OR OS Upgrade. Currently Oracle 10gR2 is configured in Failover cluster mode. Application binaries are installed in C:\ drives on all cluster nodes.
Would like to know whether I can deploy New VCS 6.2 node on New HPE DL380 G9/G10 Server and Add to existing cluster? If possible, what is the way around. OR this will not work?
I tried to search articles, but no luck. Since the hardware architecture will be different, what will be the consequences when we do failover manually OR if we shutdown the Resource Group and start on Newly deployed server?
Appreciate you feedback, answers, and any ideas with new approach.
Thanks
Rane
As far as the Virtual Fire Drill is concerned, the v7.x documentation shows support for a number of the infrastructure agents. BUT I haven't tested this to confirm it the functionality is atually there. And doesn't help as you're running 6.2.
So a manual check it is then.
