HACMP for AIX Primary Event Scripts
The HACMP Primary Event Scripts are part of the HACMP package and none require
modification for Agent support. The purpose of the Primary Event Scripts is for the
HACMP Event Manager to call one or more Secondary Event Scripts in response to the
occurrence of certain events within the HACMP cluster. Some of the Secondary Event
Scripts must be modified to support the Agent in the HACMP environment.
HACMP for AIX Secondary Event Scripts
Once it is installed and configured in an HACMP cluster environment, the operation and
behavior of the Agent are completely determined by the action of “Secondary Event
Scripts”. Once each of these scripts is examined and/or modified to support the Agent, the
Agent will be “HACMP aware” for all normal topologies and configurations of HACMP
for AIX. After installation of the Agent in the HACMP cluster, the only actions that will
ever be necessary on the part of the agent are:
1. Check for Agent running:
(SWCC_ag_check_local.sh SWCC_ag_check_all.sh)
2. Stop Agent:
(SWCC_ag_stop_local.sh SWCC_ag_stop_all.sh)
3. Start Agent:
(SWCC_ag_start_local.sh)
These actions are implemented using five additional scripts that are called from the
modified event scripts. The five additional HACMP Agent scripts are:
❏ SWCC_ag_check_all.sh
❏ SWCC_ag_stop_all.sh
❏ SWCC_ag_check_local.sh
❏ SWCC_ag_stop_local.sh
❏ SWCC_ag_start_local.sh
Table 4–5 lists the scripts located in the “$STEAMDIR”/BIN directory which, by
default, is the /USR/STGWKS2/STEAM/BIN directory created as part of the Agent
installation. At the time of installation of the Agent, the following modifications are
made automatically by the HACMP_install.sh script:
