Sun Cluster 3.0 U1 Data Services Installation and Configuration Guide

Configuring Sun Cluster HA for Netscape Directory Server Extension Properties

This section describes how to configure the Sun Cluster HA for Netscape Directory Server extension properties. Typically, you use the command line scrgadm -x parameter=value to configure extension properties when you create the Netscape Directory Server resource. You can also use the procedures that Chapter 11, Administering Data-Service Resources describes to configure them later.

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

Table 4-2 describes the extension properties that you can configure for Netscape Directory Server. The only required extension property for creating a Netscape Directory Server resource is the Confdir_list property, which specifies a directory in which the Netscape Directory Server configuration files reside. You can update some extension properties dynamically. You can update others, however, only when you create the resource. The Tunable column of the following table indicates when you can update each property.

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. The Sun Cluster HA for Netscape Directory Server data service requires this extension property, and the property 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 process monitor facility (PMF) restarts the fault monitor during the time window that the `Monitor_retry_interval` property specifies. Note that this property refers to restarts of the fault monitor itself rather than to the resource. The system-defined properties `Retry_interval` and `Retry_count` control restarts of the resource.
`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 PMF cannot restart the fault monitor.
`Probe_timeout` (integer)	`30`	`0` - `2,147,483,641`	Any time	The time-out value (in seconds) that the fault monitor uses to probe a Netscape Directory Server instance.
