This book is for application developers who are writing programs for clusters running the Foundation Services. This book describes how to perform the following tasks:
To write applications for Netra HA Suite, you must have experience
with the C programming language. Knowledge of using and deploying
highly available applications on a cluster and knowledge of the
developer tools offered by the Solaris Operating
System (Solaris OS) is an advantage.
Before reading this book, read the Netra High Availability Suite 3.0 1/08 Foundation Services Overview.
This book is divided into the following chapters:
Chapter 1 provides an overview of the basic functions and characteristics of the CMM API.
Chapter 2 describes the roles, qualification levels, and attributes that a node can have.
Chapter 3 describes the requirements of a development host on which to write applications that use the CMM API.
Chapter 4 describes how to install, compile, and run your applications.
Chapter 5 describes how to identify and retrieve data about nodes in the cluster.
Chapter 6 describes the nhcmmd daemon, the notifications this daemon sends, and how to interpret these notifications.
Chapter 7 describes how to retrieve and react to cluster notifications, and how to modify the cluster if necessary.
Chapter 8 describes how to debug your applications. This chapter also describes the return values provided by the CMM API.
