Oracle Solaris Cluster software provides a set of resource type properties and resource properties that you use to define the static configuration of a data service. Resource type properties specify the type of the resource, its version, the version of the API, as well as the paths to each of the callback methods. Resource Type Properties lists all the resource type properties.
Resource properties, such as Failover_mode, Thorough_probe_interval, and method timeouts, also define the static configuration of the resource. Dynamic resource properties, such as Resource_state and Status, reflect the active state of a managed resource. Resource Properties describes the resource properties.
You declare the resource type and resource properties in the resource type registration (RTR) file, which is an essential component of a data service. The RTR file defines the initial configuration of the data service at the time that the cluster administrator registers the data service with the Oracle Solaris Cluster software.
Use Agent Builder to generate the RTR file for your data service. Agent Builder declares the set of properties that are both useful and required for any data service. For example, particular properties, such as Resource_type, must be declared in the RTR file. Otherwise, registration of the data service fails. Other properties, although not required, are not available to a cluster administrator unless you declare them in the RTR file. Some properties are available whether you declare them or not because the RGM defines them and provides default values. To avoid this level of complexity, use Agent Builder to guarantee the generation of a correct RTR file. Later, you can edit the RTR file to change specific values if necessary.
The rest of this section shows a sample RTR file, which was created by Agent Builder.
