If a connection to the first management server fails, attempts

 

are made to connect to the subsequent management servers

 

in their order of specification..

DC2_HOST_LIST

A list of the clustered nodes that reside in Data Center 2.

 

Multiple names can be defined by using commas as

 

separators.

QUERY_TIME_OUT(Default 120

Sets the time in seconds to wait for a response from the

seconds)

SMI-S CIMOM in storage management appliance. The

 

minimum recommended value is 20 seconds. If the value is

 

set to be smaller than 20 seconds, Metrocluster software

 

might time out before getting the response from SMI-S, and

 

the package fails to start with an error.

Package Attributes for Continentalcluster with EMC SRDF

This appendix lists all Serviceguard package attributes that have been modified or added for Metrocluster with EMC SRDF. HP recommends that you use the default settings for most of these variables, so exercise caution when modifying them:

AUTOR1RWSUSP

Default: 0

 

This variable is used to indicate whether a package must be

 

automatically started when it fails over from an R1 host to another R1

 

host and the device group is in suspended state. If it sets to 0, the

 

package will halt unless ${PKGDIR}/FORCEFLAG file has been

 

created. The package halts because it is not known what has caused

 

this condition. This caused by an operational error or a Symmetrix

 

internal event, such as primary memory full. If in this situation you want

 

to automatically start the package, AUTOR1RWSUSP must be set to

 

1.

AUTOR1RWNL

Default: 0

 

This variable indicates that when the package is being started on an

 

R1 host, the Symmetrix is in a Read/Write state, and the SRDF links

 

are down, the package automatically started. Although the script

 

cannot verify the state of the Symmetrix on the R2 side to validate

 

conditions, the Symmetrix on the R1 side is in a ‘normal’ state. To

 

require operator intervention before starting the package under these

 

conditions, set AUTOR1RWNL=1 and create the file

 

/etc/cmcluster/package_name/FORCEFLAG.

AUTOR1UIP

Default: 1

 

This variable indicates that when the package is being started on an

 

R1 host and the Symmetrix is being synchronized from the Symmetrix

 

on the R2 side, the package will halt unless the operator creates the

 

$PKGDIR/FORCEFLAG file. The package halts because performance

 

degradation of the application will occur while the resynchronization

 

is in progress. More importantly, it is better to wait for the

 

resynchronization to finish to guarantee that the data are consistent

 

even in the case of a rolling disaster where a second failure occurs

 

before the first failure is recovered from. To always automatically start

 

the package even when resynchronization is in progress, set

 

AUTOR1UIP=0. Doing so will result in inconsistent data in case of a

 

rolling disaster.

AUTOR2WDNL

Default: 1

 

AUTOR2WDNL=1 indicates that when the package is being started

 

on an R2 host, the Symmetrix is in a Write-disabled state, and the

 

SRDF links are down, the package will not be started. Since we cannot

 

verify the state of the Symmetrix on the R1 side to validate conditions,
