Configuring Sun Cluster HA for iPlanet Web Server Extension Properties

For failover, the data service enforces that the size of Confdir_list is one. If you want multiple configuration files (instances), make multiple failover resources, each with one Confdir_list entry.

For details on all Sun Cluster properties, see Appendix A, Standard Properties.

How to Configure Sun Cluster HA for iPlanet Web Server Extension Properties

Typically, you configure extension properties by using the Cluster Module of Sun Management Center or the command line scrgadm -x parameter=value at the time you create the iPlanet Web Server resource. You can also configure them later by using the procedures described in Chapter 9, Administering Data Service Resources.

Some extension properties can be updated dynamically and others only when the resource is created. The only required extension property for creating an iPlanet server resource is Confdir_list. Table 3-2 describes extension properties you can configure for the iPlanet server. The Tunable column indicates when the property can be updated.

Table 3-2 Sun Cluster HA for iPlanet Web Server Extension Properties


Name/Data Type	Default	Range	Tunable	Description
`Confdir_list` (string array)	None	None	At creation	A pointer to the server root directory for a particular iPlanet Web server instance. If the Netscape Directory Server is in secure mode, the path name must contain a file named `keypass`, which contains the secure key password needed to start this instance.
`Monitor_retry_count` (integer)	4	0 - 2,147,483,641 -1 indicates an infinite number of retry attempts.	Any time	The number of times the fault monitor is to be restarted by the process monitor facility during the time window specified by the `Monitor_retry_interval` property. Note that this property refers to restarts of the fault monitor itself rather than to the resource. Restarts of the resource are controlled by the system-defined properties `Retry_interval` and `Retry_count`.
`Monitor_retry_interval` (integer)	2	0 - 2,147,483,641 -1 indicates an infinite retry interval.	Any time	The time (in minutes) over which failures of the fault monitor are counted. If the number of times the fault monitor fails exceeds the value specified in the extension property `Monitor_retry_count` within this period, the fault monitor is not restarted by the process monitor facility.
`Probe_timeout` (integer)	30	0 - 2,147,483,641	Any time	The time-out value (in seconds) used by the fault monitor to probe an iPlanet Web Server instance.
