Updated auto-import functionality of dynamic disk groups
The auto-import functionality of dynamic disk groups was modified in the InfoScale 7.2 release. This functionality is now re-modified.
Prior to 7.2 release the vxboot driver was used to auto-import the dynamic disk groups when a machine was restarted. The vxboot driver was deprecated in the 7.2 release, and the Veritas DG Delayed Import Service (VxDgDI) was used to manage the auto-import of dynamic disk groups. VxDgDI service is an automatic service and starts as soon as an operating system restarts. It imports the dynamic disk groups after an operating system restarts.
With this release, the vxboot driver is re-included and it auto-imports the dynamic disk groups when a machine restarts. In the event of a scenario where the dynamic disk groups are not imported during the machine restart, the VxDgDI service import them after the operating system restarts.
The vxboot driver has been re-included to address the cases where service dependencies are not defined for an application that is installed on VxVM volumes. In such cases, it was observed that after a system restart the services may fail to start and a manual intervention may be required to start the services.
