Configuring VCS

Configuration of VCS requires two files: types.cf and main.cf on each system in the cluster. Both of the files are located in the /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config directory.

The main.cf configuration file requires the following minimum essential elements:

• An "include" statement that specifies the file, types.cf, which defines the VCS bundled agent resources.
• The name of the cluster.
• The name of the systems that make up the cluster.

Editing the main.cf File

When you use swinstall to install VCS, the file /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf contains only the line:

1. Log in as superuser, and move to the directory containing the configuration file:
     # cd /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config
2. Using vi, or another text editor, edit the main.cf file, defining your cluster name and system names (refer to the example below).
     # vi main.cf
3. Save and close the file.
