How to Add a Shared-Address Resource to a Resource Group

To complete this procedure, you must supply the following information.

• The name of the resource group into which you are adding the resource. This group must be a failover resource group created previously.

• The hostnames you are adding to the resource group.

See the scrgadm(1M) man page for additional information.

Perform this procedure from any cluster node.

1. Become superuser on a cluster member.

2. Add the shared-address resource to the resource group.

   # scrgadm -a -S [-j resource] -g resource-group -l hostnamelist, ... \ [-X auxnodelist] [-n netiflist]

   -a

   Adds shared-address resources.

   -S

   Specifies the shared-address resource form of the command.

   -j resource

   Specifies an optional resource name of your choice. If you do not specify this option, the name defaults to the first hostname specified with the -l option.

   -g resource-group

   Specifies the resource-group name.

   -l hostnamelist, ...

   Specifies a comma-separated list of shared address hostnames.

   -X auxnodelist

   Specifies a comma-separated list of physical node names or IDs that identify the cluster nodes that can host the shared address but never serve as primary in the case of failover. These nodes are mutually exclusive, with the nodes identified in the resource group nodelist as potential masters.

   -n netiflist

   Specifies an optional comma-separated list that identifies the NAFO groups on each node. All the nodes in nodelist of the resource group must be represented in the netiflist. See the scrgadm(1M) man page for a description of the syntax for specifying netiflist. If you do not specify this option, scrgadm attempts to discover a net adapter on the subnet that the hostnamelist identifies for each node in nodelist.

3. Verify that the shared-address resource has been added and validated.

   # scrgadm -pv -j resource

   The resource addition action causes the Sun Cluster software to validate the resource. If the resource is successfully validated, the resource can be enabled, and the resource group can be moved into the state where the RGM manages it. If the validation fails, the scrgadm command produces an error message to this effect and exits. If the validation fails, check the syslog on each node for an error message. The message appears on the node that performed the validation, not necessarily the node on which you ran the scrgadm command.

Example - Adding a Shared-Address Resource to a Resource Group

This example shows the addition of a shared-address resource (resource-1) to a resource group (resource-group-1).

# scrgadm -a -S -j resource-1 -g resource-group-1 -l schost-1
# scrgadm -pv -j resource-1
(resource-group-1) Res name:                                resource-1
    (resource-group-1:resource-1) Res R_description:
    (resource-group-1:resource-1) Res resource type:        SUNW.SharedAddress
    (resource-group-1:resource-1) Res resource group name:  resource-group-1
    (resource-group-1:resource-1) Res enabled:              False
    (resource-group-1:resource-1) Res monitor enabled:      True
