HP XP Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide

6. Click OK to save the information and close the configuration tool. The configuration information
is saved to the ClxXPCfg file.
NOTE: XP Cluster Extension provides a RAID Manager service, which automatically starts
RAID Manager instances at system boot time. This feature reduces resource group and service
and application failover times because the XP Cluster Extension resource does not need to
start the RAID Manager instances. When you click Apply or OK in the configuration tool, the
RAID Manager service is started.
7. Use the procedures in “Importing and exporting configuration information” (page 16) to copy
the ClxXpCfg file to the other cluster nodes.
Defining XP Cluster Extension configuration information using the CLI
You can configure XP Cluster Extension with the CLI command CLXXPCONFIG. Enter CLXXPCONFIG
-?, CLXXPCONFIG /?, or CLXXPCONFIG /help to view usage information.
1. Enter CLXXPCONFIG -I to open the configuration tool.
2. The pair/resync monitor monitors the disk pair status if the ResyncMonitor attribute is set to
YES, and resynchronizes disk pairs if the ResyncMonitorAutoRecover attribute is set to YES.
By default, the pair/resync monitor uses port 5307.
To change the pair/resync monitor port, enter CLXXPCONFIG PRM /PORT=value, where
value is the port number you want to use.
NOTE: To view the pair/resync monitor port, enter CLXXPCONFIG PRM.
3. Specify the RAID Manager instances that define the device/copy groups you want to manage
with XP Cluster Extension. For more information about XP Cluster Extension and RAID Manager,
see “Setting up RAID Manager” (page 9).
• To view the available instances, enter CLXXPCONFIG RM.
• To add a RAID Manager instance, enter CLXXPCONFIG RM /ADDVAL=value, where
value is the RAID Manager instance you want to add. For example:
Enter CLXXPCONFIG RM /ADDVAL=101 to add RAID Manager instance number 101.
• To remove a RAID Manager instance, enter CLXXPCONFIG RM /REMOVEVAL=value,
where value is the RAID Manager instance you want to remove. For example:
Enter CLXXPCONFIG RM /REMOVEVAL=101 to remove RAID Manager instance number
101.
NOTE: XP Cluster Extension provides a RAID Manager service, which automatically starts
RAID Manager instances at system boot time. This feature reduces resource group and service
or application failover times because the XP Cluster Extension resource does not need to start
the RAID Manager instances. Adding or removing RAID Manager instances will start or restart
the RAID Manager service.
4. For configurations with XP arrays and XP RAID Manager only, use the following command to
configure RAID Manager command device authentication:
CLXXPCONFIG CMD_DEV_CONFIG /DKC=DKCNumber Options
Where DKCNumber is the disk controller/array serial number, and the available options are:
• LOGIN /USER=User Name: The user name.
• /PASSWORD=Password: The password.
