NODE_NAME

The hostname of each system that will be a node in the

 

cluster.

 

CAUTION: Make sure that the node name is unique within

 

the subnets configured on the cluster nodes; under some

 

circumstances Serviceguard may not be able to detect a

 

duplicate name and unexpected problems may result.

 

Do not use the full domain name. For example, enter

 

ftsys9, not ftsys9.cup.hp.com. A Serviceguard cluster

 

can contain up to 16 nodes (though not in all third-party

 

configurations; see “Veritas Cluster Volume Manager (CVM)”

 

(page 85), and the latest Release Notes for your version of

 

Serviceguard).

 

IMPORTANT: Node names must be 39 characters (bytes)

 

or less, and are case-sensitive; for each node, the

 

NODE_NAME in the cluster configuration file must exactly

 

match the corresponding node_name in the package

 

configuration file (see Chapter 6: “Configuring Packages

 

and Their Services ” (page 227)) and these in turn must

 

exactly match the hostname portion of the name specified

 

in the node’s networking configuration. (Using the above

 

example, ftsys9 must appear in exactly that form in the

 

cluster configuration and package configuration files, and

 

as ftsys9.cup.hp.com in the DNS database).

 

The parameters immediately following NODE_NAME in this

 

list (SITE, NETWORK_INTERFACE, HEARTBEAT_IP,

 

STATIONARY_IP, CLUSTER_LOCK_LUN,

 

FIRST_CLUSTER_LOCK_PV,

 

SECOND_CLUSTER_LOCK_PV, CAPACITY_NAME, and

 

CAPACITY_VALUE) apply specifically to the node identified

 

by the preceding NODE_NAME entry.

SITE

The name of a site (defined by SITE_NAME) to which the

 

node identified by the preceding NODE_NAME entry belongs.

 

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.

 

If SITE is used, it must be used for each node in the cluster

 

(that is, all the nodes must be associated with some defined

 

site, though not necessarily the same one).

 

If you are using SITEs, you can restrict the output of

 

cmviewcl (1m) to a given site by means of the -S

 

<sitename> option. In addition, you can configure a

 

site_preferred or

 

site_preferred_manualfailover_policy (page 237)

 

for a package.

NETWORK_INTERFACE

The name of each LAN that will be used for heartbeats or

 

for user data on the node identified by the preceding

 

NODE_NAME. An example is lan0. See also
