Q-2 How do check the status of VERITAS Cluster Server?
Ans: hastatus –sum
Q-3 Which is the main config file for VCS and where it is located?
Ans: main.cf is the main configuration file for VCS and it is located in
/etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config.
Q-4 Which command you will use to check the syntax of the main.cf?
Ans: hacf -verify /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config
Q-5 How will you check the status of individual resource of VCS cluster?
Ans: hares –state
Q-6 What is the service group in VCS?
Ans: Service group is made up of resources and their links which you normally requires to
maintain the HA of application.
Q-7 What is the use of halink command?
Ans: halink is used to link the dependencies of the resources
Q-8 What is the difference between switchover and failover?
Ans: Switchover is an manual task where as failover is automatic. You can switchover service
group from online cluster node to offline cluster node in case of power outage, hardware failure,
schedule shutdown and reboot. But the failover will failover the service group to the other node
when VCS heartbeat link down, damaged, broken because of some disaster or system hung.
Q-9 What is the use of hagrp command?
Ans: hagrp is used for doing administrative actions on service groups like online, offline, switch
etc.
Q-10 How to switchover the service group in VCS?
Ans: hagrp –switch to
Q-11 How to online the service groups in VCS?
Ans: hagrp –online -sys
Q-12 How to access the VCS cluster management console?
https://ny57.blogspot.com/2016/11/veritas-cluster-interview-questions.html 4/29
3/16/2020 Veritas cluster Interview Questions ~ System Admin Stuff
Ans: VCS cluster management console can be accessed by the below given URLs:
http://Servername:8181/cmc/
or
https://Servername:8443/cmc
Q-13 How to access the Cluster Manager Java Console?
Ans: #/opt/VRTSvcs/bin/hagui
Q-14 What is Jeopardy?
Ans: When a node in the cluster is having only one interconnected link remaining, then it’s very
difficult for GAB to discriminate between system or network failure. A special membership
category takes effect in this situation, called jeopardy membership. This memebship prevent
cluster from split brain condition. When a system is placed in jeopardy membership, two actions
occur:
1: Service groups running on this node placed in auto disabled state. A service group in auto
disabled state may failover on a resource or group fault but can’t failover on system fault.
2: VCS operates the cluster as a single node cluster. Other systems in the clusters are
partitioned off in a separate cluster membership.
Q-15 What is the main daemon of VCS?
Ans: had (high availability daemon) which is started by hashadow daemon.
Q-16 What is GAB?
Ans: Group Membership Services/Atomic Broadcast (GAB) is responsible for cluster membership
and reliable cluster communication. GAB has two major functions:
1: Cluster membership
GAB maintains cluster membership by receiving heartbeat from LLT. When a system no longer
receives heartbeats from a cluster peer, GAB marks the node as down.
2: Cluster communication
GAB provides the guranteed delivery of messages to all the systems. The atomic broadcast
functionality is used by HAD to ensure that all systems within the cluster receive configuration
change messages.
Q-17 What is LLT?
Ans: Low Latency Transport (LLT) is used for all cluster communication. LLT has 2 major
functions:
1: Traffic Distribution
LLT works as a backbone for GAB. LLT distributes all inter communication across all configured
network links. If a link is failes, traffic is directed to the remaining link.
2: Heartbeat
LLT is responsible for sending and receiving heartbeat signals.
Q-18 How many network links are supported in LLT?
Ans: 8 links are supported.
Q-19 How many nodes can join a Cluster?
Ans: Maximum of 32 nodes is supported in VCS.
Q-20 What is heartbeat?
Ans: Heartbeat is an Ethernet broadcast packet. This packet notifies all othe nodes that sender
is functional. This is the only broadcast traffic generated by VCS. Each node sends 2 hearbeat
https://ny57.blogspot.com/2016/11/veritas-cluster-interview-questions.html 5/29
3/16/2020 Veritas cluster Interview Questions ~ System Admin Stuff
packets per second per interface. Heartbeat is used by GAB to determine cluster membership.
Q-21 What is split brain condition?
Ans: When all the cluster interconnected links fail, it is possible for one cluster to separate into
2 subclusters, each of which doesn’t know about the other subcluster. The two subclusters could
each carry out recovery actions for the departed system. For example two systems could try to
import the same storage and cause data corruption.
Q-22 How do you shutdown a Veritas Cluster Server, leaving the applications running from the
command line?
Ans: # hastop -all -forceQ-23 What is coordinator disk?
Ans: Coordinator disks are three standard disks or LUNs set aside for I/O fencing during cluster
reconfiguration. Coordinator disks do not serve any other storage purpose in the VCS
configuration. These disks provide a lock mechanism to determine which nodes get to fence off
data drives from other nodes. A node must eject a peer from the coordinator disks before it can
fence the peer from the data drives. This concept of racing for control of the coordinator disks to
gain the ability to fence data disks is key to understanding prevention of split brain through
fencing.
Q-24 What is IO fencing and how to configure IO fencing?
Ans: IO fencing is a feature that prevents data corruption in the event of a communication
breakdown in a cluster. IO fencing is used to remove the risk associated with split brain
condition. I/O fencing allows write access for members of the active cluster and blocks access to
storage from non-members; even a node that is alive is unable to cause damage.
Q-25 How to upgrade VCS?
Ans:
1) Removing the deprecated resource type
2) Start the installvcs program which is under the directory cluster_server
Q-26 How to perform minimal downtime up-gradation in VCS?
Q-27 How to upgrade Solaris OS in which VCS is running?
Ans: To upgrade a Solaris OS in which VCS is running, Follow the below instruction:
1) Stop VCS on this node
Make the VCS configuration R/W
# haconf –makerw
Move all service groups from this node to another node and freeze this node:
# hasys –freeze –persistent –evacuate
# Make the cluster configuration Read/Only?
# haconf –dump –makero
# Stop the cluster on this node
# hastop –force –local
2) Stop, unconfigure and unsinstall LLT and GAB on this node
Unconfigure GAB
# gabconfig –U
Unconfigure LLT

11.What is jeopardy in vcs
The state in which a node is missing one of the two required heartbeat connections. When a node is running with one
heartbeat only (in jeopardy), VCS does not restart the applications on a new node. This action of disabling failover is a
safety mechanism that prevents data corruption.
12.What is split brain in vcs
Ans : A split brain occurs when two independent systems con gured in a cluster assume they have exclusive access to
resource. this scenario can be caused when all cluster heartbeat links are simultaneously lost. Each cluster node will then
mark the other cluster node as FAULTED. , usually resulting in data corruption.
13. Cluster Log File location
/var/VRTSvcs/log/engine_A.log
14 . command to Verifying that links are active for LLT
Ans: lltstat –n
15. How can I shutdown VCS without shutting down my applications?
Ans :- (1) hastop -all -force (shuts down VCS on all nodes)
(2) hastop -local -force (shuts down VCS on the local node only)
13. What's the difference between Agents and Resources?
Ans : Agents are VCS processes that control and monitor the Resources. Resources are all those objects in your Service
Group, and they all require Agents
14.how to Change con guration to read/write mode
Ans :- haconf –makerw
15. what is freeze in vcs
Ans Freeze a service group to prevent it from failing over to another system.
16. Can I run different versions of VCS in the same cluster?
Ans :- No, absolutely not! Different versions of VCS, and even different patch levels of VCS, cannot run at the same time in
the same cluster. Therefore, when you install VCS patches, you must install them on *all* nodes at the same time!
17.Difference in critical and non-critical resource
Ans :- 1.(NON-critical ) resource fails , service group will not fail over
2.(Critical ) resource fails , service group will fail over
18. Command to clear the faulty resource
Ans hares -clear (resource-name) -sys (faulted-system)
19. what is the command to Starting and stopping LLT
Ans lltcon g -c
lltcon g -U

23. command to freeze the service group
Ans hagrp -freeze
How to set VCS configuration file (main.cf) ro/rw ?
To set the con guration le in read-only/read-write :
# haconf -dump -makero (Dumps in memory configuration to main.cf and makes it read-only)
# haconf -makerw (Makes configuration writable)
Where is the VCS engine log file located ?
The VCS cluster engine logs is located at /var/VRTSvcs/log/engine_A.log. We can either directly view this le or use
command line to view it :
# hamsg engine_A
How to check the complete status of the cluster
To check the status of the entire cluster :
# hastatus -sum
How to verify the syntax of the main.cf file
To verify the syntax of the main.cf le just mention the absolute directory path to the main.cf le :
# hacf -verify /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config
What are the different resource types ?
1. Persistent : VCS can only monitor these resources but can not o ine or online them.
2. On-Off : VCS can start and stop On-Off resource type. Most resources fall in this category.
3. On-Only : VCS starts On-Only resources but does not stop them. An example would be NFS daemon. VCS can start the
NFS daemon if required, but can not take it o ine if the associated service group is take o ine.
Explain the steps involved in Offline VCS configuration
1. Save and close the con guration :
# haconf -dump -makero
2. Stop VCS on all nodes in the cluster :
# hastop -all
3. Edit the con guration le after taking the backup and do the changes :
# cp -p /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf_17march
# vi /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf
4. Verify the con guration le syntax :
# hacf -verify /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/
5. start the VCS on the system with modi ed main.cf le :

# hastart
6. start VCS on other nodes in the cluster.
Note : This can be done in another way by just stopping VCS and leaving services running to minimize the downtime.
(hastop -all -force
GAB, LLT and HAD
What is GAB, LLT and HAD and whats their functionalities ?
GAB, LLT and HAD forms the basic building blocks of vcs functionality.
LLT (low latency transport protocol) – LLT transmits the heartbeats over the interconnects. It is also used to distribute the
inter system communication tra c equally among all the interconnects.
GAB (Group membership services and atomic broadcast) – The group membership service part of GAB maintains the
overall cluster membership information by tracking the heartbeats sent over LLT interconnects. The atomic broadcast of
cluster membership ensures that every node in the cluster has same information about every resource and service group
in the cluster.
HAD (High Availability daemon) – the main VCS engine which manages the agents and service group. It is in turn
monitored by a daemon named hashadow.
What are the various GAB ports and their functionalities ?
a --> gab driver
b --> I/O fencing (to ensure data integrity)
d --> ODM (Oracle Disk Manager)
f --> CFS (Cluster File System)
h --> VCS (VERITAS Cluster Server: high availability daemon, HAD)
o --> VCSMM driver (kernel module needed for Oracle and VCS interface)
q --> QuickLog daemon
v --> CVM (Cluster Volume Manager)
w --> vxconfigd (module for cvm)
How to check the status of various GAB ports on the cluster nodes
To check the status of GAB ports on various nodes :
# gabconfig -a
Whats the maximum number of LLT links (including high and low priority) can a
cluster have ?
A cluster can have a maximum of 8 LLT links including high and low priority LLT links.

3/16/2020 Veritas cluster Interview Questions ~ System Admin Stuff
How to check the detailed status of LLT links ?
The command to check detailed LLT status is :
# lltstat -nvv
What are the various LLT configuration files and their function ?
LLT uses /etc/llttab to set the con guration of the LLT interconnects.
# cat /etc/llttab
set-node node01
set-cluster 02
link nxge1 /dev/nxge1 - ether - -
link nxge2 /dev/nxge2 - ether - -
link-lowpri /dev/nxge0 – ether - -
Here, set-cluster -> unique cluster number assigned to the entire cluster [ can have a value ranging between 0 to (64k - 1) ].
It should be unique across the organization.
set-node -> a unique number assigned to each node in the cluster. Here the name node01 has a corresponding unique
node number in the le /etc/llthosts. It can range from 0 to 31.
Another con guration le used by LLT is – /etc/llthosts. It has the cluster-wide unique node number and nodename as
follows:
# cat /etc/llthosts
0 node01
1 node02
LLT has an another optional con guration le : /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/sysname. It contains short names for VCS to refer. It
can be used by VCS to remove the dependency on OS hostnames.
What are various GAB configuration files and their function ?
The le /etc/gabtab contains the command to start the GAB.
# cat /etc/gabtab
/sbin/gabconfig -c -n 4
here -n 4 –> number of nodes that must be communicating in order to start VCS.
How to start/stop GAB
The commands to start and stop GAB are :

3/16/2020 Veritas cluster Interview Questions ~ System Admin Stuff
# gabconfig -c (start GAB)
# gabconfig -U (stop GAB)
How to start/stop LLT
The commands to stop and start LLT are :
# lltconfig -c -> start LLT
# lltconfig -U -> stop LLT (GAB needs to stopped first)
What’s a GAB seeding and why manual GAB seeding is required ?
The GAB con guration le /etc/gabtab de nes the minimum number of nodes that must be communicating for the cluster
to start. This is called as GAB seeding.
In case we don’t have su cient number of nodes to start VCS [ may be due to a maintenance activity ], but have to do it
anyways, then we have do what is called as manual seeding by ring below command on each of the nodes.
# gabconfig -c -x
How to start HAD or VCS ?
To start HAD or VCS on all nodes in the cluster, the hastart command need to be run on all nodes individually.
# hastart
What are the various ways to stop HAD or VCS cluster ?
The command hastop gives various ways to stop the cluster.
# hastop -local
# hastop -local -evacuate
# hastop -local -force
# hastop -all -force
# hastop -all
-local -> Stops service groups and VCS engine [HAD] on the node where it is red
-local -evacuate -> migrates Service groups on the node where it is red and stops HAD on the same node only
-local -force -> Stops HAD leaving services running on the node where it is red
-all -force -> Stops HAD on all the nodes of cluster leaving the services running
-all -> Stops HAD on all nodes in cluster and takes service groups o ine
Resource Operations

# hares -dep
How to enable/disable a resource ?
# hares -modify [resource_name] Enabled 1 (To enable a resource)
# hares -modify [resource_name] Enabled 0 (To disable a resource)
How to list the parameters of a resource
To list all the parameters of a resource :
# hares -display [resource]
Service group operations
How to add a service group(a general method) ?
In general, to add a service group named SG with 2 nodes (node01 and node02) :
haconf –makerw
hagrp –add SG
hagrp –modify SG SystemList node01 0 node02 1
hagrp –modify SG AutoStartList node02
haconf –dump -makero
How to check the configuration of a service group – SG ?
To see the service group con guration :
# hagrp -display SG
How to bring service group online/offline ?
To online/o ine the service group on a particular node :
# hagrp -online [service-group] -sys [node] (Online the SG on a particular node)
# hagrp -offline [service-group] -sys [node] (Offline the SG on particular node)
The -any option when used instead of the node name, brings the SG online/o ine based on SG’s failover policy.
# hagrp -online [service-group] -any
# hagrp -offline [service-group] -any

3/16/2020 Veritas cluster Interview Questions ~ System Admin Stuff
How to switch service groups ?
The command to switch the service group to target node :
# hagrp -switch [service-group] -to [target-node]
How to freeze/unfreeze a service group and what happens when you do so ?
When you freeze a service group, VCS continues to monitor the service group, but does not allow it or the resources under
it to be taken o ine or brought online. Failover is also disable even when a resource faults. When you unfreeze the SG, it
start behaving in the normal way.
To freeze/unfreeze a Service Group temporarily :
# hagrp -freeze [service-group]
# hagrp -unfreeze [service-group]
To freeze/unfreeze a Service Group persistently (across reboots) :
# hagrp -freeze -persistent[service-group]
# hagrp -unfreeze [service-group] -persistent
Communication failures : Jeopardy, split brain
Whats a Jeopardy membership in vcs clusters
When a node in the cluster has only the last LLT link intact, the node forms a regular membership with other nodes with
which it has more than one LLT link active and a Jeopardy membership with the node with which it has only one LLT link
active.
(http://thegeekdiary.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/jeopardy-in-vcs-cluster.png)
Effects of jeopardy : (considering example in diagram above)
1. Jeopardy membership formed only for node03
2. Regular membership between node01, node02, node03
3. Service groups SG01, SG02, SG03 continue to run and other cluster functions remain unaffected.
4. If node03 faults or last link breaks, SG03 is not started on node01 or node02. This is done to avoid data corruption, as in
case the last link is broken the nodes node02 and node01 may think that node03 is down and try to start SG03 on them.
This may lead to data corruption as same service group may be online on 2 systems.
5. Failover due to resource fault or operator request would still work.
How to recover from a jeopardy membership ?
To recover from jeopardy, just x the failed link(s) and GAB automatically detects the new link(s) and the jeopardy
membership is removed from node.
Whats a split brain condition ?
Split brain occurs when all the LLT links fails simultaneously. Here systems in the cluster fail to identify whether it is a
system failure or an interconnect failure. Each mini-cluster thus formed thinks that it is the only cluster thats active at the
moment and tries to start the service groups on the other mini-cluster which he think is down. Similar thing happens to the
other mini-cluster and this may lead to a simultaneous access to the storage and can cause data corruption.
What is I/O fencing and how it prevents split brain ?
VCS implements I/O fencing mechanism to avoid a possible split-brain condition. It ensure data integrity and data
protection. I/O fencing driver uses SCSI-3 PGR (persistent group reservations) to fence off the data in case of a possible
split brain scenario.

In case of a possible split brain
As show in the gure above assume that node01 has key “A” and node02 has key “B”.
1. Both nodes think that the other node has failed and start racing to write their keys to the coordinator disks.
2. node01 manages to write the key to majority of disks i.e. 2 disks
3. node02 panics
4. node01 now has a perfect membership and hence Service groups from node02 can be started on node01
Whats the difference between MultiNICA and MultiNICB resource types ?
MultiNICA and IPMultiNIC
– supports active/passive con guration.
– Requires only 1 base IP (test IP).
– Does not require to have all IPs in the same subnet.
MultiNICB and IPMultiNICB
– supports active/active con guration.
– Faster failover than the MultiNICA.
– Requires IP address for each interface.
Troubleshooting
How to flush a service group and when its required ?
Flushing of a service group is required when, agents for the resources in the service group seems suspended waiting for
resources to be taken online/o ine. Flushing a service group clears any internal wait states and stops VCS from
attempting to bring resources online.
To ush the service group SG on the cluster node, node01 :
# hagrp -flush [SG] -sys node01
How to clear resource faults ?
To clear a resource fault, we rst have to x the underlying problem.
1. For persistent resources :
Do not do anything and wait for the next O ineMonitorInterval (default – 300 seconds) for the resource to become online.
2. For non-persistent resources :
Clear the fault and probe the resource on node01 :
# hares -clear [resource_name] -sys node01
# hares -probe [resource_name] -sys node01
How to clear resources with ADMIN_WAIT state ?
If the ManageFaults attribute of a service group is set to NONE, VCS does not take any automatic action when it detects a
resource fault. VCS places the resource into the ADMIN_WAIT state and waits for administrative intervention.
1. To clear the resource in ADMIN_WAIT state without faulting service group :
# hares -probe [resource] -sys node01
2. To clear the resource in ADMIN_WAIT state by changing the status to OFFLINE|FAULTED :
# hagrp -clearadminwait -fault [SG] -sys node01

Q: – What is a Veritas Cluster server or VCS cluster ?
VERITAS Cluster Server (VCS) from Symantec connects multiple, independent systems into a management
framework for increased availability. Each system, or node, runs its own operating system and cooperates at
the software level to form a cluster. VCS links commodity hardware with intelligent software to provide
application failover and control. When a node or a monitored application fails, other nodes can take
predefined actions to take over and bring up services elsewhere in the cluster.
Q: – What are types of cluster ?
Cluster is an broadly used term and broadly classified as
– High Availability (HA) clusters
– Parallel processing clusters
– Load balancing clusters
High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters
VCS is primarily an HA cluster
–With support for some key parallel processing applications like Oracle RAC
Q: – What are Veritas Cluster or VCS User Account Privileges ?
Cluster Administrator:- Full Privileges
Cluster Operator:- All cluster, service group, and resources-level operations.
Cluster Guest :- Read-only access: new users created as cluster guest accounts by default.
Group Administrator :- All service group operations for a specified service group,except deleting service
group.
Group Operator :- Bring service groups and resources online and take offline, temporarily freeze or
unfreeze service groups
Q: – What are SwitchOver and Failover in Veritas Cluster ?
Switchover: A switchover is an orderly shutdown of an application and it’s supporting resources on one
server and a controlled startup on another server.
Failover : A failover is similar to a switchover, except the ordered shutdown of applications on the original
node may not be possible, so the services are started on another node.
Q: – Definition of a Service Group in Veritas Cluster ?
A service group is a virtual container that enables VCS to manage an application service as a unit.All
components required to provide the service, and the relationships between these components, are defined
within the service group.Service groups have attributes that define its behavior, such as where it can start and
run.
Q: – What are Service Group Types ?
Failover:
– The service group can be online on only one cluster system at a time.
– VCS migrates the service group at the administrator’s request and in response to faults.
Parallel:
The service group can be online on multiple cluster systems simultaneously.
An example is Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC).
Q: – How to specify Service Group Dependencies in veritas Cluster ?
https://ny57.blogspot.com/2016/11/veritas-cluster-interview-questions.html 16/29
3/16/2020 Veritas cluster Interview Questions ~ System Admin Stuff
We can use service group dependencies to specify most application relationships according to these four
criteria:
– Category: Online or offline
– Location: Local, remote, or global
– Startup behavior: Parent or child
– Failover behavior: Soft, firm, or hard
We can specify combinations of these characteristics to determine how dependencies affect service group
behavior.
Q: – Define the Resources in veritas cluster ?
Resources are VCS objects that correspond to the hardware or software components of an application service.
Each resource must have a unique name throughout the cluster. Choosing names that reflect the service
group name makes it easy to identify all the resources in that group, for example, WebIP in the WebSG
group.
Resources are always contained within service groups.
Resource categories include: Persistent & Nonpersistent
Q: – What are On-Off & Persistent Resources ?
On-Off:- VCS starts and stops On-Off resources as required. For example, VCS imports a disk group when
required, and deports it when it is no longer needed.
Persistent:- These resources cannot be brought online or taken offline. For example, a network interface card
cannot be started or stopped, but it is required to configure an IP address. A Persistent resource has an
operation value of none. VCS monitors Persistent resources to ensure their status and operation. Failure of a
Persistent resource triggers a service group failover.
Q: – What are Agents in Veritas cluster or VCS cluster ?
Agents are multi-threaded processes that provide the logic to manage resources. VCS has one agent per
resource type. The agent monitors all resources of that type; for example, a single IP agent manages all IP
resources. When the agent is started, it obtains the necessary configuration information from VCS. It then
periodically monitors the resources, and updates VCS with the resource status. An agent typically brigs
resources online, take resources offlineand monitors resources to determine their state.
Q: – How VCS Controls Resources ?
Each resource type has a corresponding agent process that manages all resources of that type.
Agents have one or more entry points that perform a set of actions on resources.
Each system runs one agentfor each active resource type
Q: – What are the main functions of LLT,GAB & HAD in veritas cluster ?
Low-Latency Transport(LLT) :-
Is responsible for sending heartbeat messages
Transports cluster communication traffic to every active system
Balances traffic load across multiple network links
Maintains the communication link state
Is a nonroutable protocol
Runs on an Ethernet network
Group Membership Services/Atomic Broadcast (GAB)
Performs two functions:
– Manages cluster membership; referred to as GAB membership.
– Sends and receives atomic broadcasts of configuration information
Is a proprietary broadcast protocol
Uses LLT as its transport mechanism
The High Availability Daemon (HAD)
The VCS engine, the high availability daemon:
– Runs on each system in the cluster
– Maintains configuration and state information for all cluster resources
– Manages all agents
The hashadow daemon monitors HAD.

Q: – What are Failover Policies in Veritas Cluster ?
The FailOverPolicy attribute specifies how a target system is selected:
– Priority: The system with the lowest priority number in the list is selected (default).
– RoundRobin: The system with the least number of active service groups is selected.
– Load: The system with greatest available capacity is selected.
Example configuration: hagrp –modify groupname FailOverPolicy Load
Solaris:
Q: Are you working cluster environment ?
A:Yes.I am working Veritas cluster .Its a zone failover model cluster.
(:- Here interviewers will try to screw you by asking the cluster setup.The next question will be …
Q:Zone failover model cluster ? How it works ?
A: Veritas cluster software has been installed on two global zones and configured .
We have configured the failover service group and added the zone as resource.zones are
installed on shared storage and LUNS are visible on both the cluster nodes.If there is any issue on
one global zone ,the service group will automatically fail-overs to second global zone.In other
words, zone will be halted on one node and booted in other node.
This kind of cluster setup is very less compare to the traditional & complex start/stop scripts for
application.
Off-course without having the hands on experience ,it is hard to explain with
confidence.So Practice the VCS cluster yourself before attending any interviews.
There are three article in Unixarena to get the setup to be done on
VMWARE workstation to practice yourself.
1.How to install and configure two node VCS cluster (http://www.unixarena.com/2012/08/how-
to-configure-two-node-vcs-cluster.html).
2.Create a new service on veritas cluster. (http://www.unixarena.com/2012/08/how-to-create-
servicegroup-using.html)
3.Add the zone as resource in service group. (http://www.unixarena.com/2012/08/how-to-add-
solaris-zone-as-resource-in.html)
Redhat Linux:
The same trick you can follow on the Linux interview as well. Redhat Cluster as well supports the
virtual machine failover. If the interviewer ask about the redhat cluster, you simply say that ” I
am working two node redhat cluster – virtual machine failover setup”.
Here is the overview of the virtual machine failover setup using redhat cluster.
Redhat cluster has been installed on both the cluster nodes and configured as two node
cluster.We have KVM packages installed and configured with the virtual guests on both the
nodes.Those virtual guests aka virtual servers have added in to the redhat cluster as resource and
if there is any issues with one server, all the virtual machine will be halted/killed and those will
be booted on the second cluster node.
The beauty of redhat cluster + KVM is that virtual machines can be failover to other node
without hating/rebooting it .

The below articles will be help you to setup the environment redhat cluster environment.
1.Configure the redhat cluster with virtual machine (http://www.unixarena.com/2013/10/how-
to-add-kvm-guest-on-redhat-cluster.html).
2.Test the live migration for the virtual guests (http://www.unixarena.com/2013/10/how-to-
perform-live-migration-of-kvm.html).
Hope now you can able to manage the cluster related questions in interview.
I am sure that if you explain these setup with confidence, definitely interviewer will not ask
further question on this.
Q: – What is clusterring and why we use clustering ?
The concept of a cluster is that the cluster itself appears on the outside as a single system. A cluster consists
of two or more Real Computers referred to as nodes or members of a cluster. The components of a cluster are
commonly, but not always, connected to each other through fast Local Area Networks.
Clusters are usually deployed to improve performance and/or availability over that provided by a single
computer, while typically being much more cost-effective than single computers of comparable speed or
availability. Clustering is all about the back-end operations being performed by the nodes or members which
appear to the outside world as a single computational entity.
Q: – What are the different type of clusters ?
1. High Performance Clusters
2. High Availability Clusters
3. Load Balancing clusters
4. Storage Clusters
Q: – What is High Performance Clusters ?
In High Performance Clusters Multiple nodes in cluster perform concurrent calculations. There are two key
benefits of High Performance (or grid) computing :
Resilience –> As long as even a single member of a cluster is running, services continue to be provided by
the cluster
Increased Capacity –> The more nodes added to the cluster, the more computing horsepower is available and
therefore very powerful computers can be built using
commodity hardware
Q: – What is High Availabilty Clusters (HA) ?
High-availability clusters provide continuous availability of services by eliminating single points of failure
and by failing over services from one cluster node to another in case a node becomes inoperative.High-
availability clusters are sometimes referred to as failover clusters. Red Hat Cluster Suite provides high-
availability clustering through its High-availability Service Management component.
Q: – What is Load Balancing Clusters ?
Load Balancing Clusters operate by having all workload come through one or more load balancing front-
ends, which then distribute it to a collection of back end servers. If a node in a load-balancing cluster
becomes inoperative, the load-balancing software detects the failure and redirects requests to other cluster
nodes. Red Hat Cluster Suite provides load- balancing through LVS (Linux Virtual Server).
Q: – What is Storage Clusters ?
Storage clusters provide a consistent file system image across servers in a cluster, allowing the servers to
simultaneously read and write to a single shared file system.With a cluster-wide file system, a storage cluster
eliminates the need for redundantcopies of application data and simplifies backup and disaster recovery. Red
Hat Cluster Suite provides storage clustering through Red Hat GFS.
Q: – What is Active Passive and Active Active Terminology in HA Clusters ?
Active/Passive Terminology generally refers to failover clusters running only one service.
Active/Active Terminology can be used to refer to :
Failover clusters with multiple servers such that all cluster members are hosting at least one service
Failsafe Clusters
Q: – What is Fencing in Clustering ?
Fencing is used to avoid data inconsistencies in shared storage by fencing or cutting off a failed
member.When the cluster manager detects a member failure, it immediately cuts off the failed member from

3/16/2020 Veritas cluster Interview Questions ~ System Admin Stuff
accessing shared resources.Fence Devices can either be shared or non-shared.
Q: – What are Clustering Hardware Requirements ?
Red Hat Certified Hardware capable of running the proposed OS (RHEL 3/4/5)
Ethernet Switch for Networking
Fencing Hardware
Shared Storage (for services that require access to shared data)
Q: – What is GFS2 filesystem ?
GFS2 is a shared file system used by Red Hat Cluster node member simultaneously. GFS2 allows all nodes to
have direct concurrent access to the same shared block storage. In addition, GFS2 can also be used as a local
filesystem. The principle component to allow such access is lock management. GFS2 uses DLM or
Distributed Lock Management to achieve this. Also clustered LVM is used to communicate LVM meta data
changes across nodes.
Q: – What is fencing in clustering and why it is required ?
Fencing is the process of isolating a node of a computer cluster when the former is malfunctioning. Isolating
a node means ensuring that I/O can no longer be done from it. Fencing is typically done automatically, by
cluster infrastructure such as shared disk file systems, in order to protect processes from other active nodes
modifying the resources during node failures.
Fencing is required because it is impossible to distinguish between a real failure and a temporary hang. If the
alfunctioning node is really down, then it cannot do any damage, so theoretically no action would be required
(it could simply be brought back into the cluster with the usual join process). However, because there is a
possibility that a malfunctioning node could itself consider the rest of the cluster to be the one that is
malfunctioning, a race condition could ensue, and cause data corruption. Instead, the system has to assume
the worst scenario and always fence in case of problems
Q: – what is Quorum ?
Quorum is a voting algorithm used by the cluster manager. A cluster can only function correctly if there is
general agreement between the members about things. We say a cluster has ‘quorum’ if a majority of nodes
are alive, communicating, and agree on the active cluster members. So in a thirteen-node cluster, quorum is
only reached if seven or more nodes are communicating. If the seventh node dies, the cluster loses quorum
and can no longer function. It’s necessary for a cluster to maintain quorum to prevent ‘splitbrain’ problems.
Q: – What is multipathing in clustering ?
Clusters should be designed with NSPOF(No Single Point Of Failure) considerations. That means that there
should be no single device such that it’s failure could impact the Cluster. As an example, when using Fibre
HBAs, two HBAs must be put into each clustered Node to guard against card failure, link failure etc.
Similarly, two Fibre Switches should be used to prevent cluster services disruption int he event of the switch
failure. If iSCSI protocol is used to access the shared storage, then two network cards should be used for this
purpose. Each network card should have a unique IP address and should be connected via different switched
to the iSCSI Storage.
Q: – Describe how the storage will be accessed using the iSCSI protocol in clustered environment ?
iSCSI is used to facilitate data transfers over intranets and to manage storage over long distances. iSCSI can
be used to transmit data over local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), or the Internet and
can enable location-independent data storage and retrieval. The protocol allows clients (called initiators) to
send SCSI commands (CDBs) to SCSI storage devices (targets) on remote servers. It is a popular Storage
Area Network (SAN) protocol, allowing organizations to consolidate storage into data center storage arrays
while providing hosts (such as database and web servers) with the illusion of locally-attached disks. Unlike
traditional Fibre Channel, which requires special purpose cabling, iSCSI can be run over long distances using
existing network infrastructure.
Q: – What are the Logical Steps for installing Red Hat Cluster Suite ?
a) Configure Storage/udev/multipathing
b) Test file systems by mounting on both nodes
c) Install application on both nodes and copy required folders/data to shared
storage
d) Write the startup/shutdown/status scripts, if required (you can use standard sysv
inti scripts as well, if you application has one)
e) Mount the shared partition on node1 and test the app
f) Unmount shared partition from node1, mount in node2 and test the app
