LifeKeeper Configuration Tasks
2. Select the Switchback Type. This dictates how the SAMS instance will
be switched back to this server when it comes back into service after a
failover to the backup server. You can choose either intelligent or
automatic. Intelligent switchback requires administrative intervention to
switch the instance back to the primary/original server. Automatic
switchback means the switchback will occur as soon as the primary
server comes back on line and reestablishes LifeKeeper communication
paths.
The switchback type can be changed later, if desired, from the General
tab of the Resource Properties dialog box.
Click on the Next button to proceed to the next dialog box.
3. Select the Server where you want to create the SAMS resource
(typically this is referred to as the primary or template server). All the
servers in your cluster are included in the drop down list box.
Click on the Next button to proceed to the next dialog box.
4. Select the Shared File System.
IMPORTANT: This is a file system that will be used by the Recovery
Kit to copy the configuration and data directories. Click on the Next
button to proceed to the next dialog box.
