    We’ve been running 3.5.5P (AIX 4.3.3) on a SAN for a few years now.

    The directory ‘/hci’ is just a link to the ‘disc’ that contains ALL of the Cloverleaf files.

    eg

    [355] qdxi01p> cd /

    [355] qdxi01p> ls -l hci

    lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     system        14 Jul 19 2002  hci -> /apps/qdxi01p/

    When a failover is initiated (assuming that the ‘current’ server is still working)  a script is issued (we wrote this) that stops all Cloverleaf sites.  When the disc has been remounted on the alternate server a script is issued to start all Cloverleaf sites.

    Our ‘startSite.sh’ script always perfoms a ‘crash recovery’ before a site is started, just in case.

    I hope this helps.

    Note that we are IN an HACMP environment, but we do not run the HACMP Cloverleaf software.
