Registering and Configuring the Sun Cluster HA for Sun Java System Application Server EE (HADB)

This procedure describes how to use the Sun Cluster maintenance commands to register and configure Sun Cluster HA for Sun Java System Application Server EE (HADB) as a resource mastered on multiple nodes at one time.

See Tools for Data Service Resource Administration in Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS for details about additional options that enable you to register and configure the data service.

To perform this procedure, you need the following information about your configuration.

• The name of the resource type for Sun Cluster HA for Sun Java System Application Server EE (supporting HADB versions as of 4.4), which is SUNW.hadb_ma.

• The names of the cluster nodes that can master the data service.

Setting Extension Properties for Sun Cluster HA for Sun Java System Application Server EE (HADB)

The sections that follow contain instructions for registering and configuring Sun Cluster HA for Sun Java System Application Server EE (HADB) resources. For information about the extension properties, see Appendix A, Properties for Sun Cluster HA for Sun Java System Application Server EE (Supporting HADB Versions as of 4.4). The Tunable entry indicates when you can update a property.

See Appendix B, Standard Properties, in Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS for details about all of the Sun Cluster properties.

To set an extension property of a resource, include the following option in the clresource(1CL) command that creates or modifies the resource:

-p property=value 

-p property

Identifies the extension property that you are setting.

value

Specifies the value to which you are setting the extension property.

You can also use the procedures in Chapter 2, Administering Data Service Resources, in Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS to configure resources after the resources are created.

How to Register and Configure Sun Cluster HA for Sun Java System Application Server EE (HADB)

Perform the following steps to complete your configuration.

1. On a cluster member, become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.admin RBAC authorization.

2. Register the resource type for Sun Java System Application Server EE (HADB).

   # clresourcetype register SUNW.hadb_ma

3. Create the resource group for the Sun Java System Application Server EE (HADB) software.

   This resource group is configured to be mastered by multiple nodes at the same time.

   # clresourcegroup create -n nodelist \ -p Maximum_primaries=nodes_in_rg \ -p Desired_primaries=nodes_in_rg resource_group

   -n nodelist

   Specifies a comma-separated subset of cluster nodes to run the Sun Java System Application Server EE (HADB) software. If this option is omitted, all cluster nodes run Sun Java System Application Server EE (HADB). Use the command to find the node list names.

   -p Maximum_primaries=nodes_in_rg

   Specifies the maximum number of nodes on which the resource can start. You must specify the same number as the value of the Desired_primaries property.

   -p Desired_primaries=nodes_in_rg

   Specifies the desired number of nodes on which the resource can start. You must specify the same number as the value of the Maximum_primaries property.

   resource_group

   Specifies the name of the resource group that is to be created.

4. Create a resource for Sun Java System Application Server EE (HADB).

   See Appendix A, Properties for Sun Cluster HA for Sun Java System Application Server EE (Supporting HADB Versions as of 4.4) for a detailed description of the extension properties for this resource type.

   # clresource create -g resource_group -t SUNW.hadb_ma \ -p HADBM_PASSWORDFILE=path_to_pw_file resource

   -g resource_group

   Specifies the name of the resource group to which the resource is to be added.

   -t SUNW.hadb_ma

   Specifies the predefined resource type name.

   -p HADBM_PASSWORDFILE=path_to_pw_file

   Specifies the full path to the file containing the HADBM administrative password.

   For details about the contents of the password file, see the Sun Java System Application Server documentation.

   resource

   Specifies the name of the resource that you are creating.

   The resource is created in the enabled state.

5. Bring the resource group online.

   # clresourcegroup online resource_group

6. Verify that the resource group and HADB resource are online.

   # cluster status # ps -ef

7. To verify that you have correctly installed and configured Sun Cluster HA for HADB, run the following command.

   # hadbm status database_name --nodes

   The output should indicate that the database that you specified is running.

Example 1–1 Creating a SUNW.hadb_ma Resource

This example shows the creation of a SUNW.hadb_ma resource.

In this example the default values for the extension properties are used. The resource has the following characteristics:

• The resource is named hadb-rs.

• The resource is a member of a resource group named hadb-rg.

• The resource is an instance of the SUNW.hadb_ma resource type. The registration of the resource type is not shown in this example.

clresource create -g hadb-rg -t SUNW.hadb_ma \
-p HADBM_PASSWORDFILE=/global/disk1/hadbm-pwfile hadb-rs
