About configuring a fire drill service group
If you want to run the disaster recovery (DR) fire drill on a service group in your data center, it is important that you create a fire drill service group using Cluster Server. The configuration of the fire drill service group is similar to the configuration of the original service group.
When you use the fire drill service group in Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager for running DR fire drill, ensure the following:
-
The service group on which you want to run the DR fire drill is configured on a remote cluster
-
The fire drill service group has the same name as the global service group with a suffix, "fd". For the service groups belong to the Windows clusters earlier to the 5.1SP1 release, the name of the fire drill group must be in the following format: "FDxx sg". Here, "FD" identifies the name of the fire drill service group, "xx" identifies any number from 00 to 99, and "sg" identifies the name of the service groups on which you want to run the DR fire drill. For the later Windows releases, the name of the fire drill service group must have the same name as the global service group with a suffix, "_fd".
-
The
UserStrGlobalattribute of the fire drill group contains the string "FD:app_group_name". The "FD:app_group_name" identifies the name of the service group on the remote cluster. -
The fire drill service group has an offline-local dependency with the service group on the remote cluster.
