9.3.2 Configuration Parameters for Sun Cluster HA for Tivoli

This section describes the information you supply to the hadsconfig(1M) command to create configuration files for Sun Cluster HA for Tivoli. The hadsconfig(1M) command uses templates to create these configuration files. The templates contain some default, some hard coded, and some unspecified parameters. You must provide values for those parameters that are unspecified.

The fault probe parameters, in particular, can affect the performance of Sun Cluster HA for Tivoli. Tuning the probe interval value too low (increasing the frequency of fault probes) might encumber system performance, and also might result in false takeovers or attempted restarts when the system is simply slow.

Configure Sun Cluster HA for Tivoli by supplying the hadsconfig(1M) command with parameters listed in Table 9-1.

Table 9-1 Configuration Parameters for Sun Cluster HA for Tivoli


Parameter	Description
Name of the instance	Nametag used as an identifier for the instance. The log messages generated by Sun Cluster HA for Tivoli refer to this nametag. The `hadsconfig(1M)` command prefixes the package name to the value you supply here. For example, if you specify "tivoli," the `hadsconfig(1M)` command produces "SUNWsctiv_tivoli."
Logical host	Name of the logical host that provides service for this instance of Sun Cluster HA for Tivoli.
Port number	Unique port for Sun Cluster HA for Tivoli. The default port number is 94.
Configuration directory	The directory of the database, that is, the full path of the `$DBDIR`. For example, `/hahost1/d1/Tivoli/<database>.db`.
Local probe flag	Specifies whether the local probe is started automatically at cluster reconfiguration or when the Tivoli service is activated. Possible values are `y` or `-n`.
Probe interval	Time in seconds between successive fault probes. The default is 60 seconds.
Probe timeout	Time out value in seconds for the probe. If the probe has not completed within this amount of time, Sun Cluster HA for Tivoli considers it to have failed. The default is 60 seconds.
Takeover flag	Specifies whether a failure of this instance will cause a takeover or failover of the logical host associated with the Tivoli instance. Possible values are `-y` or `-n`.
TIV_OSERV_TYPE	This is the TME type. Possible values are `server` or `client`.
TIV_BIN	The path to the TME binaries specified during installation of the instance. This is equivalent to `$BINDIR` without the "Solaris2" suffix. For example, `/hahost1/d1/Tivoli/bin`.
TIV_LIB	The path to the TME libraries specified during installation of the instance. For example, `/hahost1/di/Tivoli/lib`. This is equivalent to `$LIBDIR` without the "Solaris2" suffix.
