A resource is an instantiation of a resource type. You must add resources to a resource group before the RGM can manage the resources. This section describes the following three resource types.
logical hostname resources
shared address resources
data service (application) resources
Always add logical hostname resources and shared address resources to failover resource groups. Add data service resources for failover data services to failover resource groups. Failover resource groups contain both the logical hostname resources and the application resources for the data service. Scalable resource groups contain only the application resources for scalable services. The shared address resources on which the scalable service depends must reside in a separate failover resource group. You must specify dependencies between the scalable application resources and the shared address resources for the data service to scale across cluster nodes.
See the Sun Cluster Concepts Guide for Solaris OS document and Chapter 1, Planning for Sun Cluster Data Services for more information on resources.
To complete this procedure, you must supply the following information.
The name of the failover resource group into which you are adding the resource
The hostnames that you plan to add to the resource group
When you add a logical hostname resource to a resource group, the extension properties of the resource are set to their default values. To specify a nondefault value, you must modify the resource after you add the resource to a resource group. For more information, see How to Modify a Logical Hostname Resource or a Shared Address Resource.
See the scrgadm(1M) man page for additional information.
Perform this procedure from any cluster node.
Become superuser on a cluster member.
Add the logical hostname resource to the resource group.
# scrgadm -a -L [-j resource] -g resource-group -l hostnamelist, … [-n netiflist] |
Adds a logical hostname resource.
Specifies the logical hostname resource form of the command.
Specifies an optional resource name of your choice. If you do not specify this option, the name defaults to the first hostname that is specified with the -l option.
Specifies the name of the resource group in which this resource resides.
Specifies a comma-separated list of UNIX hostnames (logical hostnames) by which clients communicate with services in the resource group.
Specifies an optional, comma-separated list that identifies the IP Networking Multipathing groups that are on each node. Each element in netiflist must be in the form of netif@node. netif can be given as an IP Networking Multipathing group name, such as sc_ipmp0. The node can be identified by the node name or node ID, such as sc_ipmp0@1 or sc_ipmp@phys-schost-1.
Sun Cluster does not currently support using the adapter name for netif.
Verify that the logical hostname resource has been added.
# scrgadm -pv -j resource |
Adding the resource causes the Sun Cluster software to validate the resource. If the validation succeeds, you can enable the resource, and you can move the resource group into the state where the RGM manages it. If the validation fails, the scrgadm command produces an error message 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.
This example shows the addition of logical hostname resource (resource-1) to a resource group (resource-group-1).
# scrgadm -a -L -j resource-1 -g resource-group-1 -l schost-1 # scrgadm -pv -j resource-1 Res Group name: resource-group-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.LogicalHostname (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 |
After you add logical hostname resources, use the procedure How to Bring Online Resource Groups to bring them online.
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 that you created previously.
The hostnames that you plan to add to the resource group.
When you add a shared address resource to a resource group, the extension properties of the resource are set to their default values. To specify a nondefault value, you must modify the resource after you add the resource to a resource group. For more information, see How to Modify a Logical Hostname Resource or a Shared Address Resource.
See the scrgadm(1M) man page for additional information.
Perform this procedure from any cluster node.
Become superuser on a cluster member.
Add the shared address resource to the resource group.
# scrgadm -a -S [-j resource] -g resource-group -l hostnamelist, … \ [-X auxnodelist] [-n netiflist] |
Adds shared address resources.
Specifies the shared address resource form of the command.
Specifies an optional resource name of your choice. If you do not specify this option, the name defaults to the first hostname that is specified with the -l option.
Specifies the resource group name.
Specifies a comma-separated list of shared address hostnames.
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 if failover occurs. These nodes are mutually exclusive, with the nodes identified as potential masters in the resource group's node list.
Specifies an optional, comma-separated list that identifies the IP Networking Multipathing groups that are on each node. Each element in netiflist must be in the form of netif@node. netif can be given as an IP Networking Multipathing group name, such as sc_ipmp0. The node can be identified by the node name or node ID, such as sc_ipmp0@1 or sc_ipmp@phys-schost-1.
Sun Cluster does not currently support using the adapter name for netif.
Verify that the shared address resource has been added and validated.
# scrgadm -pv -j resource |
Adding the resource causes the Sun Cluster software to validate the resource. If the validation succeeds, you can enable the resource, and you can move the resource group into the state where the RGM manages it. If the validation fails, the scrgadm command produces an error message 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.
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 |
After you add a shared resource, use the procedure How to Bring Online Resource Groups to enable the resource.
A failover application resource is an application resource that uses logical hostnames that you previously created in a failover resource group.
To complete this procedure, you must supply the following information.
The name of the failover resource group into which you are adding the resource
The name of the resource type for the resource
The logical hostname resources that the application resource uses, which are the logical hostnames that you previously included in the same resource group
See the scrgadm(1M) man page for additional information.
Perform this procedure from any cluster node.
Become superuser on a cluster member.
Add a failover application resource to the resource group.
# scrgadm -a -j resource -g resource-group -t resource-type \ [-x Extension_property=value, …] [-y Standard_property=value, …] |
Adds a resource.
Specifies your choice of the name of the resource to add.
Specifies the name of the failover resource group created previously.
Specifies the name of the resource type for the resource.
Specifies a comma-separated list of extension properties that depend on the particular data service. See the documentation for each data service to determine whether the data service requires this property.
Specifies a comma-separated list of standard properties that depends on the particular data service. See the documentation for each data service and Appendix A, Standard Properties to determine whether the data service requires this property.
You can set additional properties. See Appendix A, Standard Properties and the documentation in this book on how to install and configure your failover data service for details.
Verify that the failover application resource has been added and validated.
# scrgadm -pv -j resource |
Adding the resource causes the Sun Cluster software to validate the resource. If the validation succeeds, you can enable the resource, and you can move the resource group into the state where the RGM manages it. If the validation fails, the scrgadm command produces an error message 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.
This example shows the addition of a resource (resource-1) to a resource group (resource-group-1). The resource depends on logical hostname resources (schost-1, schost-2), which must reside in the same failover resource groups that you defined previously.
# scrgadm -a -j resource-1 -g resource-group-1 -t resource-type-1 \ -y Network_resources_used=schost-1,schost2 \ # 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: resource-type-1 (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 |
After you add a failover application resource, use the procedure How to Bring Online Resource Groups to enable the resource.
A scalable application resource is an application resource that uses shared addresses in a failover resource group.
To complete this procedure, you must supply the following information:
The name of the scalable resource group into which you are adding the resource
The name of the resource type for the resource
The shared address resources that the scalable service resource uses, which are the shared addresses that you previously included in a failover resource group
See the scrgadm(1M) man page for additional information.
Perform this procedure from any cluster node.
Become superuser on a cluster member.
Add a scalable application resource to the resource group.
# scrgadm -a -j resource -g resource-group -t resource-type \ -y Network_resources_used=network-resource[,network-resource...] \ -y Scalable=True [-x Extension_property=value, …] [-y Standard_property=value, …] |
Adds a resource.
Specifies your choice of the name of the resource to add.
Specifies the name of a scalable service resource group that you previously created.
Specifies the name of the resource type for this resource.
Specifies the list of network resources (shared addresses) on which this resource depends.
Specifies that this resource is scalable.
Specifies a comma-separated list of extension properties that depend on the particular data service. See the documentation for each data service to determine whether the data service requires this property.
Specifies a comma-separated list of standard properties that depends on the particular data service. See the documentation for each data service and Appendix A, Standard Properties to determine whether the data service requires this property.
Specifies a comma-separated list of standard properties that depends on the particular data service. See the documentation for each data service and Appendix A, Standard Properties to determine whether the data service requires this property.
You can set additional properties. See Appendix A, Standard Properties and the documentation in this book on how to install and configure your scalable data service for information on other configurable properties. Specifically for scalable services, you typically set the Port_list, Load_balancing_weights, and Load_balancing_policy properties, which Appendix A, Standard Properties describes.
Verify that the scalable application resource has been added and validated.
# scrgadm -pv -j resource |
Adding the resource causes the Sun Cluster software to validate the resource. If the validation succeeds, you can enable the resource, and you can move the resource group into the state where the RGM manages it. If the validation fails, the scrgadm command produces an error message 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.
This example shows the addition of a resource (resource-1) to a resource group (resource-group-1). Note that resource-group-1 depends on the failover resource group that contains the network addresses that are in use (schost-1 and schost-2 in the following example). The resource depends on shared address resources (schost-1, schost-2), which must reside in one or more failover resource groups that you defined previously.
# scrgadm -a -j resource-1 -g resource-group-1 -t resource-type-1 \ -y Network_resources_used=schost-1,schost-2 \ -y Scalable=True # 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: resource-type-1 (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 |
After you add a scalable application resource, follow the procedure How to Bring Online Resource Groups to enable the resource.
