Building an HA Cluster Configuration
Setting up the Quorum Server
Chapter 5136
Creating a Package for the Quorum Server
You can run the Quorum Server as a package in another cluster. In fact,
a QS package running on one cluster can provide quorum services for
any number of other clusters. You can add the Quorum Server to an
existing cluster by creating a package with QS as the monitored service.
Use the following procedure:
1. Install the Quorum Server software on all nodes, as described above.
2. In the configuration directory ($SGCONF), create a subdirectory for
the QS package, then change into it:
# mkdir qs-pkg
# cd qs-pkg
3. Create a package ASCII file by using the cmmakepkg command:
# cmmakepkg -P qs-pkg.config
4. Edit the file using the parameters in the following table.
