How to Replicate Configuration Data on a Cluster Without Configured Resource Groups, Resource Types, and Resources

This procedure replicates configuration data on a cluster that does not have configured resource groups, resource types, and resources. In this procedure, a copy of the configuration data is taken from one cluster and used to generate the configuration data on another cluster.

Steps

1. Using the system administrator role, log in to any node in the cluster from which you want to copy the configuration data.

   For example, node1.

   The system administrator role gives you the following role-based access control (RBAC) rights:

   • solaris.cluster.resource.read

   • solaris.cluster.resource.modify

2. Retrieve the configuration data from the cluster.

   node1 % scsnapshot -s scriptfile

   The scsnapshot tool generates a script called scriptfile. For more information about using the scsnapshot tool, see the scsnapshot(1M) man page.

3. Edit the script to adapt it to the specific features of the cluster where you want to replicate the configuration data.

   For example, you might have to change the IP addresses and host names that are listed in the script.

4. Launch the script from any node in the cluster where you want to replicate the configuration data.

   The script compares the characteristics of the local cluster to the cluster where the script was generated. If the characteristics are not the same, the script writes an error and ends. A message asks whether you want to rerun the script, using the -f option. The -f option forces the script to run, despite any difference in characteristics. If you use the -f option, ensure that you do not create inconsistencies in your cluster.

   The script verifies that the Sun Cluster resource type exists on the local cluster. If the resource type does not exist on the local cluster, the script writes an error and ends. A message asks whether you want to install the missing resource type before running the script again.
