Attributes

VCS components are configured using attributes. Attributes contain data about the cluster, systems, service groups, resources, resource types, agent, and heartbeats if using global clusters. For example, the value of a service group's SystemList attribute specifies on which systems the group is configured and the priority of each system within the group. Each attribute has a definition and a value. Attributes also have default values assigned when a value is not specified.

Attribute Data Types

Data Type Description

String

A string is a sequence of characters enclosed by double quotes. A string may also contain double quotes, but the quotes must be immediately preceded by a backslash. A backslash is represented in a string as \\. Quotes are not required if a string begins with a letter, and contains only letters, numbers, dashes (-), and underscores (_). For example, a string defining a network interface such as hme0 or eth0 does not require quotes as it contains only letters and numbers. However a string defining an IP address contains periods and requires quotes, such as: "192.168.100.1"

Integer

Signed integer constants are a sequence of digits from 0 to 9. They may be preceded by a dash, and are interpreted in base 10. Integers cannot exceed the value of a 32-bit signed integer: 21471183247.

Boolean

A boolean is an integer, the possible values of which are 0 (false) and 1 (true).
