Configuring the Cluster
This section describes how to define the basic cluster configuration. To do
this in Serviceguard Manager, the graphical user interface, read the next
section. If you want to use Serviceguard commands, skip ahead to the
section entitled “Using Serviceguard Commands to Configure the
Cluster.”
Using Serviceguard Manager to Configure the Cluster
Create a session on Serviceguard Manager. Select the option for
discovering unused nodes. On the map or tree, from the list of unused
nodes, select the one where you want to start the cluster. From the
Actions menu, choose Configuring.
After you give the node’s root password, the Configuration screen will
open, and you will be guided through the process. Each tab contains
related information. Serviceguard Manager discovers much of the
information, so you can choose from available options, such as lists of
volume groups, networks, and nodes.
There is online Help available at each step to help you make decisions.
Configure your volume groups before configuring the cluster. If you are
using a quorum server as the cluster lock, have it running before
configuring the cluster.
When you complete your information, click Apply. If there are errors,
they are displayed in a log window. If not, the log displays a “successful”
message, and the binary configuration is automatically distributed to the
nodes.
After a Refresh, the new cluster configuration and status information
appears in the tree, map and Properties.
To modify or delete the configuration, select the cluster on the tree or
map, and choose Configuring from the Actions menu.
