How to Register a Resource Type

Before You Begin

Ensure that you have the name for the resource type that you plan to register. The resource type name is an abbreviation for the data service name.

1. On a cluster member, assume the root role that provides solaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorization.
2. Register the resource type.

   # clresourcetype register resource-type

   resource-type

   Specifies name of the resource type to add.

3. Verify that the resource type has been registered.

   # clresourcetype show

Example 2-1  Registering a Resource Type

The following example registers the SUNW.oracle_server:8 resource type, which represents the HA Oracle Server application in an Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration.

# clresourcetype register SUNW.oracle_server:8
# clresourcetype show SUNW.oracle_server:8

Resource Type:                                  SUNW.oracle_server:8
RT_description:                                 Resource type for Oracle Server
RT_version:                                     8
API_version:                                    2
RT_basedir:                                     /opt/SUNWscor/oracle_server
Single_instance:                                False
Proxy:                                          False
Init_nodes:                                     All potential masters
Installed_nodes:                                <All>
Failover:                                       True
Pkglist:                                        <NULL>
RT_system:                                      False
Global_zone:                                    False

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