Chapter 3202
Serviceguard Automation Features
The Distributed Systems Administration Utilities require Serviceguard
11.17 or later. With Serviceguard 11.17 or later, when members are
added to or deleted from cluster or packages are added and deleted, the
DSAU consolidated logging tools will automatically take the appropriate
configuration actions. Specifically:
• When adding a member to the cluster, the new member will be
automatically configured to participate in log consolidation according
to the cluster’s configuration. The following files are automatically
configured on the added member:
— /etc/rc.config.d/syslog-ng
— /etc/rc.config.d/syslogd
— /etc/syslog.conf
— /etc/syslog-ng.conf.client, /etc/syslog-ng.conf.server,
and the /etc/syslog-ng.conf symbolic link
— /etc/services
• When deleting a member from a cluster:
— The member is still configured as a log-forwarding client and will
continue to forward syslog messages to the cluster if that option
had been chosen during the initial run of the clog_wizard. If the
system should no longer forward log messages to the cluster,
rerun the wizard to configure the system to forward to a different
consolidator, or disable log consolidation entirely. Refer to
“Disabling Log Consolidation” on page 230 for additional
information.
— The package logs on the deleted member are still monitored until
a reboot. Since this member is no longer part of the cluster, the
package logs will not be active.
• When adding or deleting a package, the following automated actions
occur:
— The package is added to or deleted from
/etc/syslog-ng.conf.server cluster-wide. There is a reserved
section of these files dedicated for use by the DSAU tools. The
configuration stanzas added in this section direct syslog-ng to
filter package log messages into the appropriate consolidated
package logs.
