This section describes the process for configuring the IRIX FailSafe software to work with Adaptive Server. For performance reasons, SGI recommends that you use raw devices. If your environment uses raw devices, ignore the steps concerning file systems.
The examples in this section are based on a setup with a primary companion named spinnaker and a secondary companion named mizzen.
This section assumes that:
The IRIX FailSafe environment is fully configured except for configuring the nodes. Configuring nodes starts the last phase in configuring IRIX FailSafe for production. See the IRIX FailSafe Administrator’s Guide for more information.
You have configured Adaptive Server for either asymmetric or symmetric mode.
You have stopped Adaptive Server, and all devices that comprise its resource group (volumes or file systems) are dismounted.
