How to Register a Resource Type

To complete this procedure, you must supply the name for the resource type that you plan to register. The resource type name is an abbreviation for the data service name. This name maps to the name shown on your data service license certificate. See the Sun Cluster 3.1 Release Notes for details on the mapping between the names and the license certificate names.

See the scrgadm(1M) man page for additional information.

Perform this procedure from any cluster node.

1. Become superuser on a cluster member.

2. Register the resource type.

   # scrgadm -a -t resource-type

   -a

   Adds the specified resource type.

   -t resource-type

   Specifies name of the resource type to add. See the Sun Cluster 3.1 Release Notes to determine the predefined name to supply.

3. Verify that the resource type has been registered.

   # scrgadm -pv -t resource-type

Example – Registering Resource Types

The following example registers Sun Cluster HA for Sun ONE Web Server (internal name iws).

# scrgadm -a -t SUNW.iws
# scrgadm -pv -t SUNW.iws
Res Type name:                                   SUNW.iws
  (SUNW.iws) Res Type description:               None registered
  (SUNW.iws) Res Type base directory:            /opt/SUNWschtt/bin
  (SUNW.iws) Res Type single instance:           False
  (SUNW.iws) Res Type init nodes:                All potential masters
  (SUNW.iws) Res Type failover:                  False
  (SUNW.iws) Res Type version:                   1.0
  (SUNW.iws) Res Type API version:               2
  (SUNW.iws) Res Type installed on nodes:        All

Where to Go From Here

After registering resource types, you can create resource groups and add resources to the resource group. See Creating a Resource Group for details.
