5.3.7 Configuring a Printer to Run on One Member
Some printers are directly connected to the serial or parallel port of a host.
These printers must be controlled by a supervisor running on that host. To
ensure that the supervisor runs on the correct cluster member, you must
create a separate CAA resource profile for the supervisor. The resource
profile must specify:
•
placement=restricted
• hosting_members=hostname
After you create the physical printer object, set the printer-associated-
host attribute to the name of the host to which the printer is connected.
# pdset -c printer -x printer-associated-host=hostname
printername
In addition, the supervisor that is associated with the printer, must be
running on the host that the printer is restricted to.
If a job is sent to the printer from a supervisor running on a host other
than the one specified by the printer-associated-host attribute, the
supervisor disables the physical printer and sets the following attributes:
• enabled=false
• availability=none
• printer-problem-message= “Printer port associated with a different host”
5.3.8 LPD Inbound Gateway in a Cluster
The LPD Inbound Gateway is not configured as a CAA application but is run
on each member of the cluster. To configure the LPD Inbound Gateway,
run the /usr/pd/scripts/inbound_gw_config.sh script. This script
configures the LPD Inbound Gateway on each member of the cluster and
edits the rc.config file so that each time your system restarts, the LPD
Inbound Gateway restarts.
