Service IP Label

If IP address takeover is being used, list the IP label to be

 

moved when this resource group is taken over. Press F4

 

to see a list of valid IP labels. These include addresses

 

which rotate or may be taken over.

 

 

File Systems

Identify the method for checking consistency of file

systems, fsck (default) or logredo (for fast recovery).

 

 

File Systems Recovery

Identify the recovery method for the file systems, parallel

Method

(for fast recovery) or sequential (default).

 

Do not set this field to parallel if you have shared, nested

 

file systems. These must be recovered sequentially. (Note

 

that the cluster verification utility, clverify, does not report

 

file system and fast recovery inconsistencies.)

 

 

File Systems to Export

Identify the file systems to be exported to include in this

 

resource group. These should be a subset of the file

 

systems listed above. Press F4 for a list.

 

 

File Systems to

Identify the subset of file systems to NFS mount. All nodes

NFS Mount

in the resource chain that do not currently hold the

 

resource will attempt to NFS mount these file systems

 

while the owner node is active in the cluster.

 

 

These settings also have to be synchronized throughout the cluster. Therefore Synchronize Cluster Resources has to be chosen from the corresponding SMIT Menu.

If the Cluster Manager is running on the local node, synchronizing cluster resources triggers a dynamic reconfiguration event (DARE, see 8.5.3, “DARE Resource Migration Utility” on page 169).

4.3.1.2 Configuring Run-Time Parameters

There are two types of Run-Time Parameters for a node that can be chosen. One of them is the debug level, which can be switched from high to low, meaning all cluster manager actions are logged, or only errors are logged, respectively. The other is the differentiation whether the node uses NIS or DNS nameservice or not, to enable the cluster manager to turn that off in case it would interfere with its actions. Both of these parameters can be changed while the cluster is running.

4.3.1.3 Defining Application Servers

Application servers are another resource that can be configured into a Resource Group. They consist of a (hopefully meaningful) name, in order to enable the cluster manager to identify the application server uniquely, as well
