Starting and Setting Up RTR

This chapter describes how to configure and start an RTR environment. Recovery journals, router load balancing and call-out servers are also discussed.

2.1 Introduction

Before RTR applications can run, RTR must be started and the application's facility must be defined on each node of the application's environment. This is done by issuing the start rtr and create facility commands on each participating node. There are several ways to accomplish this:

•You can log on to each node in turn and issue the commands interactively.

•You can log on to one node and use the remote command capability to configure all the nodes from one session.

•You can include the necessary commands in a startup script or command file on each node so the commands are automatically executed when the nodes are booted.

The first two methods are more suited to a development or test environment, the last method more suited to a production environment.

The remaining sections contain examples of the commands that are used to start and configure RTR. Section 6.2 gives syntax details of the RTR commands.

2.2 Setting Up—An Example

The following example assumes that RTR is started on the eight node system shown in Figure 2–1.
