Using the Wizard to Conﬁgure a Serviceguard Cluster

Synchronization Server To conﬁgure a synchronization server for a

Serviceguard cluster, there are two conﬁguration choices:

• Create a Serviceguard package for the conﬁguration service to

ensure high availability.

• Conﬁgure a single member of the cluster as if it is a standalone

system. The conﬁguration synchronization service will not be highly

available, and this conﬁguration will also not work properly with the

Serviceguard automation features discussed in the section on

Serviceguard Automation features and is not recommended.

This section will focus on using the wizard to conﬁgure a highly available

conﬁguration synchronization service.

NOTE Make sure that this cluster’s MAX_CONFIGURED_PACKAGES value

can accommodate the additional package. For more information on this

setting, please refer to the Managing Serviceguard manual that is part of

the Serviceguard documentation set. Also, before starting the wizard, all

the current cluster members should up and running in the cluster.

Start by running the Conﬁguration Synchronization Wizard,

csync_wizard (1):

# /opt/dsau/sbin/csync_wizard

Querying the system <local hostname> for current status, one moment...

This Configuration Synchronization Wizard helps you set up the Configuration

Engine (cfengine) environment. Cfengine is a powerful tool for performing

policy-based management for groups of systems and cluster environments.
