Table 30 User Configuration Variables (continued)
DescriptionUser Configuration Variables
periodically checking whether this port is listening. If multiple instances of
tomcat are configured, this port needs be unique for each instance. The default
value is 8081.
Specify a time interval in seconds for monitoring the Tomcat instance. The
monitor process checks the Tomcat daemons at this interval to validate they
are running. The default value is 5 seconds.
MONITOR_INTERVAL (for example,
MONITOR_INTERVAL=5)
This variable holds the number attempts to check the 'tomcat' daemon
processes before it exits to fail state. The default value is 2.
RETRY_TIMES (for example,
RETRY_TIMES=2)
For the alert mail notification feature, an additional parameter called ALERT_MAIL_ID is introduced
in the ADF. It sends an email message to the specified email address when packages fail. This
email is generated only when packages fail, and not when a package is halted by the operator.
To send this email message to multiple recipients, create a group email ID and specify for this
parameter. If the email ID is not specified for this parameter, the script does not send out this email.
NOTE: Before you configure the toolkit, create the package directory (for example,
/etc/cmcluster/pkg/tomcat_pkg1), and then copy all toolkit scripts to the package directory.
To configure the Tomcat toolkit that includes user configuration file and run the package, follow
the below steps:
1. Edit the Tomcat Toolkit user configuration file.
In the package directory, edit the user configuration file (hatomcat.conf ) as indicated by
the comments in that file.
For Example:
CATALINA_HOME="/opt/hpws22/tomcat"
CATALINA_BASE="/shared/tomcat_1"
MAINTENANCE_FLAG="yes"
MONITOR_PORT=8081
2. Distribute all package files in the package directory to the other package nodes. All nodes
must have an identical file path for these files. For this example, each package node must
have the following files in the package directory:
For Example:
tomcat_pkg.conf #Package configuration file
tomcat_pkg.cntl #Package control file
hatomcat.conf #Tomcat toolkit user configuration file
hatomcat.mon #Tomcat toolkit monitor program
hatomcat.sh #Tomcat toolkit main script
toolkit.sh #Interface file between the package
#control file and the toolkit
3. Apply the Serviceguard package configuration using the command cmapplyconf -P
tomcat_pkg.conf.
Use the same procedure, to create multiple Tomcat instances for Serviceguard packages that will
run on the cluster.
Error Handling
On startup, the Tomcat server application checks the existence of the server.xml file in the
directory <CATALINA_BASE/conf>. If the configuration file does not exist at this location or if the
Tomcat does not start for some other reason, he Tomcat toolkit script halts he package on that node
