Sun Cluster 3.0 Data Services Installation and Configuration Guide

Configuring Sun Cluster HA for Netscape Directory Server Extension Properties

Table 4-2 describes the extension properties you can configure for Netscape Directory Server. The only required extension property for creating an Netscape Directory Server resource is Confdir_list, which specifies a directory in which the Netscape Directory Server configuration files reside.

How to Configure Sun Cluster HA for Netscape Directory Server Extension Properties

Typically, you configure the 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 Netscape Directory Server resource. You can also configure them later by using the procedures described in Chapter 9, Administering Data Service Resources.

See Appendix A, Standard Properties for details on all Sun Cluster properties.

Table 4-2 describes the Sun Cluster HA for Netscape Directory Server extension properties. Some extension properties can be updated dynamically and others only when the resource is created. The Tunable column indicates when the property can be updated.

Table 4-2 Sun Cluster HA for Netscape Directory Server Extension Properties


Name/Data Type	Default	Range	Tunable	Description
`Confdir_list` (string array)	None	None	At creation	A path name that points to the server root, including the `slapd`-`hostname` subdirectory where the `start-slapd` and `stop-slapd` scripts reside. This is a required extension property and must have one entry only. If Netscape Directory Server is in secure mode, then the path name must also 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 cannot be 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 Netscape Directory Server instance.
