The three components of a resource type name are properties that are specified in the RTR file as vendor-id, resource-type, and rt-version. The clresourcetype(1CL) command inserts the period and the colon delimiters to create the name of the resource type:
vendor-id.resource-type:rt-version
The vendor-id prefix serves to distinguish between two registration files of the same name that different companies provide. To ensure that the vendor-id is unique, use the stock symbol of the company when creating the resource type. The rt-version distinguishes between multiple registered versions (upgrades) of the same base resource type.
You can obtain the fully qualified resource type name by typing the following command:
# scha_resource_get -O Type -R resource-name -G resource-group-name |
Resource type names that you registered prior to Sun Cluster 3.1 continue to use this syntax:
vendor-id.resource-type
The format of resource type names is described in Format of Resource Type Names.
