Modifying the DGGuid attribute for the new disk group resource in the RVG service group

To modify the DGGuid attribute for the new VMDg or VMNSDg resource in the RVG service group
  1. From the VCS Cluster Explorer, in the left pane, select the RVG service group.
  2. In the right pane, select the Resources tab.
  3. In the Resources tab display area, right-click the new VMDg or VMNSDg resource and click View > Properties View.
  4. In the Properties View window, locate the DGGuid attribute and click the edit icon.
  5. In the Edit Attribute window, edit the attribute by performing the following actions sequentially:
    • Select Per System.
    • From the dropdown list select the first node in the primary zone (Zone 0).
    • In the Scalar Value field specify the GUID of the disk group that is imported on the node.
Run the VMGetDrive utility at the command prompt to retrieve the GUID.
  • Repeat the previous two steps, and select a different node from the dropdown list each time. You must specify the GUID separately for each node displayed in the dropdown list.
In case of a shared storage environment (VMDg resource), if there are multiple nodes in the primary zone, then the disk group GUID will be the same for all systems within the zone. However, the GUID will always be different across zones.
  1. In the Properties View window, verify that all nodes in the RDC primary zone have DGGuid values specified.
    Note: If you are creating a DR configuration manually for a non-shared storage environment, you have to modify the DGGuid attribute of the VMNSDg resource in the RVG service groups at both the sites (primary site and the disaster recovery site) separately.
  2. Close the Properties View window.
