VCS Volume failover
I am in the process of implementing a two node cluster .
I have multiple volumes that I need to failover to the secondary machine.
I am using virtual ip addresses to address the two machines .
Can anyone suggest how multiple volume failover can be configured .
Does the volume failover require complete diskgroup failover ?
Does the volume failover require complete service group failover ?
Can failover be configured at agent level ?
Anyone please suggest what possibilities for this design can be implemented

Re: VCS Volume failover
Mujeeb,
VCS was designed for "service group level failover".
You cannot configure failover at agent level.
A group failover results from an agent fail.
To fail over VxVM, first, you configure a diskgroup(not rootdg).
Then you configure multiple volumes in the diskgroup.
Because if failover happened, secondary server take over
diskgroup(not volume) using "vxdg import" command.
