Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1 Cluster File System Administrator"s Guide (5900-1738, April 2011)

About administering the coordination point server

This section describes how to perform administrative and maintenance tasks on

the coordination point server (CP server).

For more information about the cpsadm command and the associated command

options, see the cpsadm(1M) manual page.

Environment variables associated with the coordination point

server

Table 3-3 describes the environment variables that are required for the cpsadm

command. The cpsadm command detects these environment variables and uses

their value when communicating with the CP server. They are used to authenticate

and authorize the user.

Note: The environment variables are not required when the cpsadm command is

run on the CP server. The environment variables are required when the cpsadm

command is run on the SFCFS cluster nodes.

Table 3-3

cpsadm command environment variables

DescriptionEnvironment variable

This is the fully qualified username as configured in VxSS

(vssat showcred).

CPS_USERNAME

One of the following values:

■ vx

■ unixpwd

■ nis

■ nisplus

■ ldap

CPS_DOMAINTYPE

The environment variables must be exported directly on the shell before running

the cpsadm command. For example,

# export CPS_USERNAME=

# export CPS_DOMAINTYPE=

Additionally, the username and domaintype values are the same as those added

onto the CP server. To view these values run the following cpsadm command:

# cpsadm -s cp_server -a list_users
