Resource Management API

The Resource Management API (RMAPI) provides a set of low-level functions that enable a data service to access information about the resource types, resources, and resource groups in the system, to request a local restart or failover, and to set the resource status. You access these functions through the libscha.so library. The RMAPI provides these callback methods both in the form of shell commands and in the form of C functions. See the scha_calls(3HA) man page and Chapter 3, Resource Management API Reference for more information about the RMAPI functions. Also see Chapter 5, Sample Data Service for examples of how to use these functions in sample data service callback methods.
