HP Serviceguard Quorum Server Version A.03.00 Release Notes
Configuring and Running the Quorum Server
Chapter 126
Start the Quorum Server as follows:
init q
Verify the Quorum Server is running by checking the qs.log file.
(Recommended log pathnames are in Table 1-2 on page 24.)
For HP-UX, enter: cat /var/adm/qs/qs.log
For Linux, enter: cat /var/log/qs/qs.log
The log should contain entries such as the following, indicating that the
Quorum Server has started:
Oct 04 12:25:06:0:main:Starting Quorum Server
Oct 04 12:25:09:0:main:Server is up and waiting for connections
at port 1238
Creating and Updating the Authorization File
The Quorum Server reads the authorization file when it starts up. You
need to create the file, on the system where the Quorum Server software
resides, when you first install the Quorum Server, and update it when
you add nodes to a cluster the Quorum Server serves, or add or change
the IP addresses or hostnames by which the nodes communicate with the
Quorum Server.
On an HP-UX system, the authorization file must be
/etc/cmcluster/qs_authfile.
On a Red Hat Linux system, it must be
/usr/local/qs/conf/qs_authfile.
On a SUSE Linux system, it must be /opt/qs/conf/qs_authfile.
Enter into the file the fully-qualified hostnames, or IP addresses, of all
the cluster nodes that will obtain quorum services from this Quorum
Server. Use one line per node, for example:
ftsys9.localdomain.com
ftsys10.localdomain.com
