How to Use the Command-Line Version of Agent Builder to Create a Service That Uses GDS

This section describes how to use the command-line interface to perform the same set of steps shown in Using Agent Builder to Create a Service That Uses the GDS.

1. Become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorization.

2. Create the service.

   • For a failover service, type:

     # scdscreate -g -V NET -T app -d /export/wdir

   • For a scalable service, type:

     # scdscreate -g -s -V NET -T app -d /export/wdir

   ---

   Note –

   The -d argument is optional. If you do not specify this argument, the current directory becomes the working directory.

   ---

3. Configure the service.

   # scdsconfig -s "/export/app/bin/start" \ -e "/export/app/bin/configtest" \ -t "/export/app/bin/stop" \ -m "/export/app/bin/probe" -d /export/wdir

   You can specify property variables. Property variables are described in Using Property Variables.

   ---

   Note –

   Only the start command (scdsconfig -s) is required. All other options and arguments are optional.

   ---

4. On each node of the cluster, install the completed package.

   # cd /export/wdir/NETapp/pkg # pkgadd -d . NETapp

   The following files are installed by pkgadd:

   /opt/NETapp
   /opt/NETapp/README.app
   /opt/NETapp/man
   /opt/NETapp/man/man1m
   /opt/NETapp/man/man1m/removeapp.1m
   /opt/NETapp/man/man1m/startapp.1m
   /opt/NETapp/man/man1m/stopapp.1m
   /opt/NETapp/man/man1m/app_config.1m
   /opt/NETapp/util
   /opt/NETapp/util/removeapp
   /opt/NETapp/util/startapp
   /opt/NETapp/util/stopapp
   /opt/NETapp/util/app_config

   ---

   Note –

   The man pages and script names correspond to the application name that you typed previously on the Create screen, preceded by the script name (for example, startapp).

   ---

5. On one node of the cluster, configure the resources and start the application.

   # /opt/NETapp/util/startapp -h logicalhostname -p port-and-protocol-list

   The arguments to the startapp script vary according to the type of resource: failover or scalable.

   ---

   Note –

   To determine the command line that you need to type, check the customized man page or run the startapp script without any arguments to display a usage statement.

   To view the man pages, you need to specify the path to the man page. For example, to view the startapp(1M) man page, type:

   # man -M /opt/NETapp/man startapp

   To display a usage statement, type:

   # /opt/NETapp/util/startapp The resource name of LogicalHostname or SharedAddress must be specified. For failover services: Usage: startapp -h logicalhostname -p port-and-protocol-list [-n ipmpgroup/adapter-list] For scalable services: Usage: startapp -h shared-address-name -p port-and-protocol-list [-l load-balancing-policy] [-n ipmpgroup/adapter-list] [-w load-balancing-weights]
