 » Index

This configuration has two packages, each owned by a different server. The adoptive node for both packages is the same host. This sample configuration uses the package control option, which prevents the adoptive node from adopting another package if it has already adopted one. Figure 3-3 “One Adoptive Node for Two Packages” illustrates this configuration. Figure 3-4 “One Adoptive Node for Two Packages After One Server Fails” shows the same configuration after one primary server has failed.

One Adoptive Node for Two Packages

Figure 3-4 “One Adoptive Node for Two Packages After One Server Fails” shows this sample configuration after host basil has failed. Host sage has adopted pkg02. The package control option prevents host sage from adopting another package, so host sage is no longer an adoptive node for pkg01.

Package Configuration File for pkg01

This section shows the package configuration file (nfs1.conf) for the package pkg01 in this sample configuration. The comments are not shown.

PACKAGE_NAME              pkg01

NODE_NAME thyme
NODE_NAME sage

RUN_SCRIPT /etc/cmcluster/nfs/nfs1.cntl
RUN_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT NO_TIMEOUT
HALT_SCRIPT /etc/cmcluster/nfs/nfs1.cntl
HALT_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT NO_TIMEOUT

SERVICE_NAME nfs1.monitor
SERVICE_FAIL_FAST_ENABLED NO
SERVICE_HALT_TIMEOUT 300

PKG_SWITCHING_ENABLED YES

NET_SWITCHING_ENABLED YES

NODE_FAIL_FAST_ENABLED NO

NFS Control Script for pkg01

This section shows the NFS control script (nfs1.cntl) for the package pkg01 in this sample configuration. Only the user-configured part of the script is shown; the executable part of the script and most of the comments have been omitted.

PATH=/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/etc:/bin
#VGCHANGE="vgchange -a e -q n"
#VGCHANGE="vgchange -a y"
VGCHANGE="vgchange -a e" # Default

VG[0]=nfsu01

LV[0]=/dev/nfsu01/lvol1; FS[0]=/hanfs/nfsu011

XFS[0]=/hanfs/nfsu011

IP[0]=15.13.114.243
SUBNET[0]=15.13.112.0

NFS_SERVICE_NAME[0]="nfs1.monitor"
NFS_SERVICE_CMD[0]="/etc/cmcluster/nfs/nfs.mon"
#NFS_SERVICE_RESTART[0]=

function customer_defined_run_cmds
{
cmmodpkg -d -n 'hostname' pkg02 &
}

The function customer_defined_run_cmds calls the cmmodpkg command with the package control option (-d). This command prevents the host that is running pkg01 from adopting pkg02. The ampersand (&) causes the cmmodpkg command to run in the background. It must run in the background to allow the control script to complete.

There is a short time, after one primary node has failed but before the cmmodpkg command has executed, when the other primary node can fail and the adoptive node will adopt its package. In other words, if both thyme and basil fail at approximately the same time, host sage may adopt two packages, even though the package control option is specified.

If you omit the cmmodpkg -d command from the NFS control script, host sage can adopt both pkg01 and pkg02 if their primary nodes fail.

Package Configuration File for pkg02

This section shows the package configuration file (nfs2.conf) for the package pkg02 in this sample configuration. The comments are not shown.
