IMPORTANT: For special instructions that may apply to

 

your version of Serviceguard and the Quorum Server see

 

“Configuring Serviceguard to Use the Quorum Server” in

 

the latest version HP Serviceguard Quorum Server Version

 

A.04.00 Release Notes, at http://www.hp.com/go/

 

hpux-serviceguard-docs under HP Serviceguard

 

Quorum Server Software.

 

See also “About Hostname Address Families: IPv4-Only,

 

IPv6-Only, and Mixed Mode” (page 106) for important

 

information about requirements and restrictions in an

 

IPv6–only cluster.

 

Can be changed while the cluster is running; see “What

 

Happens when You Change the Quorum Configuration

 

Online” (page 49) for important information.

QS_POLLING_INTERVAL

The time (in microseconds) between attempts to contact the

 

Quorum Server to make sure it is running. Default is

 

300,000,000 microseconds (5 minutes). Minimum is

 

10,000,000 (10 seconds). Maximum is 2,147,483,647

 

(approximately 35 minutes).

 

Can be changed while the cluster is running; see “What

 

Happens when You Change the Quorum Configuration

 

Online” (page 49) for important information.

QS_TIMEOUT_EXTENSION

Optional parameter used to increase the time (in

 

microseconds) to wait for a quorum server response.

 

The default quorum server timeout is calculated from the

 

Serviceguard cluster parameter MEMBER_TIMEOUT. For

 

clusters of two nodes, it is 0.1 * MEMBER_TIMEOUT; for

 

more than two nodes it is 0.2 * MEMBER_TIMEOUT.

 

You can use the QS_TIMEOUT_EXTENSION to increase the

 

time interval after which the current connection (or attempt

 

to connect) to the Quorum Server is deemed to have failed;

 

but do not do so until you have read the HP Serviceguard

 

Quorum Server Version A.04.00 Release Notes, and in

 

particular the following sections in that document: “About

 

the QS Polling Interval and Timeout Extension”, “Network

 

Recommendations”, and “Setting Quorum Server Parameters

 

in the Cluster Configuration File”.

 

Can be changed while the cluster is running; see “What

 

Happens when You Change the Quorum Configuration

 

Online” (page 49) for important information.

SITE_NAME

The name of a site to which nodes (see NODE_NAME) belong.

 

Can be used only in a site-aware disaster-tolerant cluster,

 

which requires Metrocluster (additional HP software); see

 

the documents listed under “Cross-Subnet Configurations”

 

(page 30) for more information.

 

You can define multiple SITE_NAMEs. SITE_NAME entries

 

must precede any NODE_NAME entries. See also SITE.
