Add/change/remove cluster resources


You can add, change and remove a resource group in an active cluster. You do

not need to stop and then restart cluster services for the resource group to

become part of the current cluster configuration.

Use the following SMIT shortcuts:

To add a resource group (see Example 8-20), use smit cm_add_grp.

Whenever you modify the configuration of cluster resources in the ODM on one

node, you must synchronize the change across all cluster nodes.


8.5.2 Synchronize cluster resources

You perform a synchronization by choosing the Synchronize Cluster Resources

option from the Cluster Resources SMIT screen (see Example 8-22 on

page 258).

Ignore cluster verification errors

The cluster verification utility will be run before the information is synchronized to

all cluster nodes. The verification utility will verify that the cluster topology and/or

cluster resources are properly configured. Under certain circumstances, it may

be necessary to perform the synchronization even if the verification routines

report an error; in these cases, this parameter must be set to true, (the default is

no). Please be advised that the verification should be ignored only under

conditions well understood by the cluster administrator (see Example 8-22 on

page 258).

Un/configure cluster resources

By default, this is set to Yes, and when there has been a change to the cluster

resources, the affected resources may be unconfigured and perhaps

reconfigured during the period of synchronization via a set of scripts:

reconfig_resource_release, reconfig_resource_acquire, and

reconfig_resource_complete. However, if the cluster administrator so desires,

setting this flag to No will cause the affected resources to be removed from the

HACMP configuration, but will not cause any scripts to be run, which would

configure/unconfigure a resource (see Example 8-22).

Emulate or actual

When you synchronize cluster resources, HACMP determines what configuration

changes have taken place and checks for various errors before changing the

configuration on any node. If you choose to emulate synchronization, then it does

not effect the Cluster Manager, but if it is set to Actual, then the new

configuration will take effect. The default is Actual (see Example 8-22).

Note: Before you synchronize the cluster configuration, verify that all nodes

are powered on and, if you using HACMP HAS or HACMP/ES with Standard

security mode, that the /etc/hosts and /.rhosts include all the nodes IP labels. If

you use Enhanced security mode in HACMP/ES, the /.klogin files on all nodes

participating in the service have an entry for each service principal configured

for Kerberos.
