Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service for Sun ONE Directory Server

Configuring Sun Cluster HA for Sun ONE Directory Server Extension Properties

This section describes how to configure the Sun Cluster HA for Sun ONE Directory Server extension properties. Typically, you use the command line scrgadm -x parameter=value to configure extension properties when you create the Sun ONE Directory Server resource. You can also use the procedures that “Administering Data Service Resources” in Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service Planning and Administration Guide describes to configure them later.

See “Standard Properties” in Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service Planning and Administration Guide for details on all Sun Cluster properties.

Table 1–2 describes the extension properties that you can configure for Sun ONE Directory Server. The only required extension property for creating a Sun ONE Directory Server resource is the Confdir_list property, which specifies a directory in which the Sun ONE 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 entries indicate when you can update each property.

Table 1–2 Sun Cluster HA for Sun ONE Directory Server Extension Properties

Name/Data Type 

Description 

Confdir_list (string array)

A path name that points to the server root, including the slapd-hostname subdirectory where the start-slapd and stop-slapd scripts reside. Sun Cluster HA for Sun ONE Directory Server requires this extension property, and the property must have one entry. If iPlanet 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.

 

Default: None

Range: None

Tunable: At creation

Monitor_retry_count (integer)

The number of times that 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.

 

Default: 4

Range: 02,147,483,641

–1 indicates an infinite number of retry attempts.

Tunable: Any time

Monitor_retry_interval (integer)

The time (in minutes) over which failures of the fault monitor are counted. If the number of times that the fault monitor fails exceeds the value that is specified in the extension property Monitor_retry_count within this period, the PMF cannot restart the fault monitor.

 

Default: 2

Range: 02,147,483,641

–1 indicates an infinite retry interval.

Tunable: Any time

Probe_timeout (integer)

The time-out value (in seconds) that the fault monitor uses to probe a Sun ONE Directory Server instance. 

 

Default: 120

Range: 02,147,483,641

Tunable: Any time
