prevents unpredictable behavior from corrupting the data on the shared
disks. See the clexit.rc man page for additional information.
8.2.4 Starting and Stopping Cluster Services on Clients
Use the /usr/sbin/cluster/etc/rc.cluster script or the startsrc command to
start clinfo on a client, as shown below:
/usr/sbin/cluster/etc/rc.cluster
You can also use the standard AIX startsrc command:
startsrc -s clinfo
Use the standard AIX stopsrc command to stop clinfo on a client machine:
stopsrc -s clinfo
8.2.4.1 Maintaining Cluster Information Services on Clients
In order for the clinfo daemon to get the information it needs, you must edit
the /usr/sbin/cluster/etc/clhosts file. As installed, the clhosts file on an
HACMP client node contains no hostnames or addresses. HACMP server
addresses must be provided by the user at installation time. This file should
contain all boot and service names or addresses of HACMP servers from any
cluster accessible through logical connections with this client node. Upon
startup, clinfo uses these names or addresses to attempt communication
with a clsmuxpd process executing on an HACMP server.
An example list of hostnames/addresses in a clhosts file follows:
n0_cl83 # n0 service
n2_cl83 # n2 service
n3_cl83 # n3 service
For more detailed information on the clinfo command refer to Chapter 2,

, SC23-4279.
Never use the kill -9 command on the clstrmgr daemon. Using the kill
command causes the clstrmgr daemon to exit abnormally. This causes the
SRC to run the /usr/sbin/cluster/utilities/clexit.rc script which halts the
system immediately, causing the surviving nodes to initiate failover.
