How to Register a Resource Type

To complete this procedure, you must supply the name for the resource type you are registering, which is an abbreviation for the data service name. This name maps to the name shown on your data service license certificate. For the mapping between the names and the license certificate names, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 Release Notes.

Perform this procedure from any cluster node.

Refer to scrgadm(1M) for additional information.

1. Become superuser on a node in the cluster.

2. Register the resource type.

   # scrgadm -a -t resource-type-name

   -a

   Adds the specified resource type.

   -t resource-type-name

   Specifies name of the resource type to add. To determine the predefined name to supply, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 Release Notes.

3. Verify that the resource type has been registered.

   # scrgadm -pv -t resource-type-name

# scrgadm -a -t SUNW.iws
# scrgadm -pv -t SUNW.iws
Res Type name:                                   SUNW.iws
  (SUNW.iws) Res Type description:               None registered
  (SUNW.iws) Res Type base directory:            /opt/SUNWschtt/bin
  (SUNW.iws) Res Type single instance:           False
  (SUNW.iws) Res Type init nodes:                All potential masters
  (SUNW.iws) Res Type failover:                  False
  (SUNW.iws) Res Type version:                   1.0

Where to Go from Here

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