Managing and Testing Clustering Support for EMC SRDF

After configuring the SRDF agent in a VCS environment, you can perform some basic tests to verify the implementation. This chapter describes some test scenarios and expected behavior.

These tests assume the following environment:

Two hosts (hosta and hostb) are attached to the R1 array, and the other hosts are attached to the R2 array. The application is running on hosta and devices in the local array are read-write enabled, in the SYNCHRONIZED state.

A replicated data cluster has two dedicated heartbeat links; a global cluster has one network heartbeat and an optional SRDF replication link heartbeat. The test scenario is similar for both environments.
