user interface functions such as the Connection Test function and the clxconf utility

APPLICATION objects
The APPLICATION section defines the failback behavior of the EVA Cluster Extension for each
application service. APPLICATION is a multitag that can appear in the configuration file for each
application service using EVA Cluster Extension.
The APPLICATION object requires the name of the application service as its value. The objects
specified after an APPLICATION tag must appear only once per application. As with COMMON
objects, APPLICATION objects have predefined default values.
EVA Cluster Extension uses the following rules to define objects:
• If you use the default value, you do not need to specify the object.
• EVA Cluster Extension uses objects that might depend upon on the settings of other objects.
For example, if you set FailsafeMode to ENABLE, EVA Cluster Extension uses the values
specified for FailsafeModeOverride. However, this object is ignored if you set FailsafeMode
to disable.
• The pre-execution and post-execution functions in EVA Cluster Extension will not be processed
if the associated object values are empty. This is the default setting.
To set APPLICATION object values for the CLI, modify the user configuration file.
To set APPLICATION object values for MSCS, use Failover Cluster Management (Windows Server
2008/2008 R2/2012).
APPLICATION
Format Tag
Description Distinguishes between general and application-specific objects. Specify the name
of the application service. The format of its value is equivalent to a string value.
ApplicationDir
Format String
Description Specifies the directory where the EVA Cluster Extension searches for
application-specific files, such as the force flag or online file.
If ApplicationDir is set to a nonexistent drive, the EVA Cluster Extension is unable
to create the online file and cannot bring the resource online.
Windows
If ApplicationDir is not set, the EVA Cluster Extension uses the local
%HPCLX_EVA_PATH% values as defined in the registry.
Default
values
%HPCLX_EVA_PATH%
Files resource_name.forceflag
resource_name.online
If specified in a user configuration file, resource_name is the value of the
APPLICATION tag; otherwise, resource_name is the value of the Cluster Extension
EVA resource name.
