Managing Serviceguard Eighteenth Edition, September 2010

NOTE: You can use Serviceguard Manager to configure a cluster: open the System
Management Homepage (SMH) and choose Tools-> Serviceguard Manager.
See “Using Serviceguard Manager” (page 32) for more information.
You can also use Easy Deployment commands; see“About Easy Deployment” (page 137)
and “Using Easy Deployment Commands to Configure the Cluster” (page 211).
To use traditional Serviceguard commands to configure the cluster, follow directions
in the remainder of this section.
Use the cmquerycl (1m) command to specify a set of nodes to be included in the
cluster and to generate a template for the cluster configuration file.
IMPORTANT: See the entry for NODE_NAME under “Cluster Configuration Parameters
” (page 143) for important information about restrictions on the node name.
Here is an example of the command (enter it all one line):
cmquerycl -v -C $SGCONF/clust1.conf -n ftsys9 -n ftsys10
This creates a template file, by default /etc/cmcluster/clust1.conf. In this output
file, keywords are separated from definitions by white space. Comments are permitted,
and must be preceded by a pound sign (#) in the far left column.
NOTE: HP strongly recommends that you modify the file so as to send the heartbeat
over all possible networks. See also HEARTBEAT_IP under “Cluster Configuration
Parameters ” (page 143), and “Specifying the Address Family for the Heartbeat ”
(page 244).
The cmquerycl(1m) manpage further explains the calling parameters as well as those
that appear in the template file. See also “Cluster Configuration Parameters ” (page 143).
Modify your /etc/cmcluster/clust1.conf file as needed.
cmquerycl Options
Speeding up the Process
In a larger or more complex cluster with many nodes, networks or disks, the cmquerycl
command may take several minutes to complete. To speed up the configuration process,
you can direct the command to return selected information only by using the -k and
-w options:
-k eliminates some disk probing, and does not return information about potential
cluster lock volume groups and lock physical volumes.
-w local lets you specify local network probing, in which LAN connectivity is verified
between interfaces within each node only. This is the default when you use cmquerycl
with the-C option.
