# Primary Network Interfaces on Bridged Net 2: lan3.
# Possible standby Network Interfaces on Bridged Net 2: lan4.
# Primary Network Interfaces on Bridged Net 3: lan1.
# Warning: There are no standby network interfaces on bridged net 3.
# Cluster Timing Parameters (microseconds).
# The NODE_TIMEOUT parameter defaults to 2000000 (2 seconds).
# This default setting yields the fastest cluster reformations.
# However, the use of the default value increases the potential
# for spurious reformations due to momentary system hangs or
# network load spikes.
# For a significant portion of installations, a setting of
# 5000000 to 8000000 (5 to 8 seconds) is more appropriate.
# The maximum recommended value for NODE_TIMEOUT is 3000000
# (30 seconds).
HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL 1000000
NODE_TIMEOUT 2000000
# Configuration/Reconfiguration Timing Parameters (microseconds).
AUTO_START_TIMEOUT 600000000
NETWORK_POLLING_INTERVAL 2000000
# Package Configuration Parameters.
# Enter the maximum number of packages which will be configured in the cluster.
# You can not add packages beyond this limit.
# This parameter is required.

# List of cluster aware Volume Groups. These volume groups
# will be used by clustered applications via the vgchange -a e command.
# For example:
# VOLUME_GROUP /dev/vg_ops
# VOLUME_GROUP /dev/vg02
VOLUME_GROUP /dev/vg01
VOLUME_GROUP /dev/vg02
# List of OPS Volume Groups.
# Formerly known as DLM Volume Groups, these volume groups
# will be used by OPS cluster applications via
# the vgchange -a s command. (Note: the name DLM_VOLUME_GROUP
