Verifying the main.cf File

The VCS configuration file /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf is created during the installation process. See main.cf Example, for Clusters With the GCO Option and main.cf Example, for Clusters Without the GCO Option for example files. The main.cf file contains the minimum information that defines the cluster and its systems. In addition, the file types.cf, which is listed in the include statement, defines the VCS bundled types for VCS resources. The file types.cf is also located in the directory /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config after installation.

Notice that the cluster has an attribute UserNames. The installvcs utility creates a user "admin" whose password is encrypted; the word "password" is the password.

With the information you provide, installvcs configures the VCS Cluster Manager (Web Console) into a service group, ClusterService, that includes the IP, NIC, and VRTSWebApp resources. The service group also includes the notifier resource configuration, which is based on your input to installvcs prompts about notification. A resource dependency tree has also been created.

If you have installed VCS with the Global Cluster Option, the ClusterService service group contains an Application resource, wac (wide-area connector), whose attributes contain definitions for controlling the cluster in a Global Cluster environment. Refer to the VERITAS Cluster Server User's Guide for information about managing clusters that use the Global Cluster option.

Refer to the VERITAS Cluster Server User's Guide and review the chapter on configuration concepts for descriptions and examples of main.cf and types.cf files for HP-UX systems.
