Serviceguard Manager Version A.05.01 Release Notes
Installing and Running Serviceguard Manager
Chapter 1 37
To create a bootstrap file:
1. Create the file /etc/cmcluster/cmclnodelist on the node.
2. Using any ASCII editor, add a comment like this one:
####################################################
# Do not try to configure access in this file.
# This is only for bootstrapping, before a cluster is configured.
# Once a cluster exists, Serviceguard will ignore this file.
######################################################
3. Below the comment, create monitor access so Serviceguard can
discover and display the node as an unused node.
It may be easiest to add a wildcard + (plus) below the comment. This
is equivalent to granting the view-only Monitor role to Any User
from Any Serviceguard Node. It will allow any session on the node’s
subnet to query the cluster and display its information in any session
of Serviceguard Manager.
Alternately, you can list any number of <hostname> <username>
pairs. Hostname can be any Session Server’s name, and user can be
any name in that Session Server’s /etc/passwd file.
Now you will be able to see your new A.11.16.xx or A.11.17.xx node in a
Serviceguard Manager session. If the Session Server also has version
A.11.16.xx or A.11.17.xx, you can configure this node into a cluster. You
will be prompted for the node’s root password.
Logins, roles and security, Version A.11.15.xx and earlier:
If you are an experienced Serviceguard user, you may think there is a
similarity between the command-line user’s cmviewcl command and the
way Serviceguard Manager user gets information about remote clusters
with Serviceguard version A.11.15.xx and earlier. Using Serviceguard
Manager, certain users can also relay the most common administrative
commands to these Serviceguard clusters, and the effect seems the same
as logging into the node and issuing the command on the command line.
Please notice, however, that the permissions and access mechanisms are
actually not the same. In version A.11.15.xx and earlier, the
Serviceguard Manager user’s permissions depend on his login to the
