Chapter 120
Configuring and Running the Quorum Server
You can configure the Quorum Server as a monitored package in one
Serviceguard cluster to provide quorum service to another
Serviceguard cluster or clusters; see “Creating a Package for the
Quorum Server” below.
You can also configure the Quorum Server to run on a single system;
see “Running the Quorum Server on a Single System” on page 22.
NOTE The Quorum Server must be running during the following cluster
operations:
•when the cmquerycl command is issued
when there is a cluster re-formation
•when the cmapplyconf command is issued
Creating a Package for the Quorum Server
You can run the Quorum Server (QS) as a package in another cluster.
To configure the Quorum Server into a package with QS as the monitored
service, do the following:
1. Install the Quorum Server software on all nodes; see “Installing the
Quorum Server” on page 13.
2. In the configuration directory ($SGCONF), create a subdirectory for
the QS package, then change your working directory to it:
# mkdir qs-pkg
# cd qs-pkg
3. Create a package ASCII file:
# cmmakepkg -P qs-pkg.config
