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” (page 21).
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 as a package in another cluster.
NOTE: The instructions and examples in this section are for creating a legacy package.
Such packages are supported with all currently-supported versions of Serviceguard.
For information on creating a modular package, supported as of Serviceguard A.11.18,
see Chapter 6 of the latest version of Managing Serviceguard at http://docs.hp.com
-> High Availability.
To configure the Quorum Server into a package with Quorum Server as the monitored
service, do the following.
NOTE: If you have just installed the quorum server, or if you are adding new cluster
nodes, or implementing the alternate-subnet functionality, you must update the
authorization file before you run the package; see “Creating and Updating the
Authorization File” (page 22).
1. Install the Quorum Server software on all nodes; see “Installing the Quorum
Server” (page 13).
2. In the configuration directory ($SGCONF), create a subdirectory for the Quorum
Server package, then change your working directory to it:
mkdir qs-pkg
