Configuring the RVG service group VMNSDg resources for fail over

Last published : Aug 05, 2026
This procedure is applicable only if you setting up RDC configuration in a non-shared storage environment where the RVG service group contains a VMNSDg resource. Modify the DGGuid attribute of the VMNSDg resources in the RVG service group to ensure the desired failover behavior in the RDC.
To modify the VMNSDg resources in the RVG service group
  1. From VCS Cluster Explorer, in the left pane, select the RVG service group.
  2. In the right pane, select the Resources tab.
  3. Right-click the RVG VMNSDg resource and select View > Properties View.
  4. In the Edit Attributes window, edit the DGGuid attribute by performing the following actions sequentially:
    • Select Per System.
    • Select the node in the RDC secondary zone.
    • In the Scalar Value field, enter the GUID of the dynamic disk group that is imported on the single node in the RDC secondary zone.
    • You can retrieve the disk group details running the VMGetDrive utility from the command prompt.
    • Click OK.
  5. In the Properties View window, verify that the DGGuid for the nodes in the primary and secondary zone are different.

  6. Close the Properties View window.
As this is the final task in configuring the RVG service group for the primary and secondary zones, you can now bring the RVG service group online in both the primary and secondary zones.
