2.3.1.2 Using the Wizard to Configure a Serviceguard Cluster Synchronization Server
To configure a synchronization server for a Serviceguard cluster, there are two configuration choices:
•Create a Serviceguard package for the configuration service to ensure high availability.
•Configure a single member of the cluster as if it is a standalone system. The configuration synchronization service will not be highly available, and this configuration will also not work properly with the Serviceguard automation features discussed in “Serviceguard Automation Features” (page 23) and is not recommended.
This section focuses on using the wizard to configure a highly available configuration synchronization service.
NOTE: Before starting the wizard, all the current cluster members should be up and running in the cluster. Make sure that this cluster’s MAX_CONFIGURED_PACKAGES value can accommodate the additional package. For more information on this setting, refer to the Managing Serviceguard manual that is part of the Serviceguard documentation set.
Start by running the Configuration Synchronization Wizard, csync_wizard(1) by issuing the following command:
#/opt/dsau/sbin/csync_wizard
