The following host group mode is available for AIX: Table 1 Host group mode (option) Host Group Mode Function Default Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC, DBE+RAC Database Edition/Advanced 2 Cluster for Real Application Clusters or if Inactive Veritas Cluster Server 4.0 or later with I/O fencing function is used. This Host Group Mode can change the response to the Host when a reserved device has received a mode sense command unrelated to the Reserve. The effects of this mode are: 1. The retry time is shortened for device recognition (several tens of ms/LU) Warning messages are prevented from 22 being generated in the OS log Inactive 2. Even if the option is not set ON, no operation error(s) are caused for Veritas Cluster Server Software Host Group Mode 22 = OFF - Reserve Conflict response Host Group Mode 22 = ON - Normal End response Comments Previously MODE186 Do not apply this option to Sun Cluster. For the RAID500 subsystems, though initially available with microcode version 50-07-66-00/00, this mode can not be set from the Remote Web Console until microcode version 50-09-37-00/02 or greater. For the RAID600 subsystems, though the mode is available from the initial release of the product, it can not be set from the Remote Web Console until microcode 60-01-68-00/00 or greater. CAUTION: Changing host group modes for ports where servers are already installed and configured is disruptive and requires the server to be rebooted. XP Disk Array Configuration Guide for IBM AIX 11
