Propagating a Custom Action File to All Nodes in a Cluster

A server fault monitor must behave consistently on all cluster nodes. Therefore, the custom action file that the server fault monitor uses must be identical on all cluster nodes. After creating or modifying a custom action file, ensure that this file is identical on all cluster nodes by propagating the file to all cluster nodes. To propagate the file to all cluster nodes, use the method that is most appropriate for your cluster configuration:

• Locating the file on a file system that all nodes share

• Locating the file on a highly available local file system

• Copying the file to the local file system of each cluster node by using operating system commands such as the rcp(1) command or the rdist(1) command
