Sun Cluster 3.0 U1 Data Services Installation and Configuration Guide

Configuring SAP Extension Properties

This section describes how to configure Sun Cluster HA for SAP extension properties for the central instance and application servers. Typically, you use the command line scrgadm -x parameter=value to configure the extension properties when you create the central-instance or application resource. You can also use the procedures described in Chapter 11, Administering Data-Service Resources to configure them later.

See the r_properties(5) and the rg_properties(5) man pages for details on all Sun Cluster extension properties.

Table 9-3 describes SAP extension properties you can set for the central instance. You can update some extension properties dynamically. You can update others, however, only when you create or disable the SAP resource. The Tunable column in the following table indicates when you can update each property.
