Cluster Attributes

Cluster Attributes Type-Dimension Definition

Administrators

(user-defined)

string-keylist

Contains list of users with Administrator privileges.

Default = ""

AutoStartTimeout

(user-defined)

integer-scalar

If the local cluster cannot communicate with one or more remote clusters, this attribute specifies the number of seconds the VCS engine waits before initiating the AutoStart process for an AutoStart global service group.

Default = 150 seconds

ClusState

(system use only)

string-scalar

Indicates the current state of the cluster.

Default is non-applicable.

ClusterAddress

(system use only)

string-scalar

Specifies the cluster's virtual IP address (used by a remote cluster when connecting to the local cluster).

Default is non-applicable.

ClusterLocation

(user-defined)

string-scalar

Specifies the location of the cluster.

Default = ""

ClusterName

(user-defined)

string-scalar

Arbitrary string containing the name of cluster.

Default = ""

ClusterOwner

(user-defined)

string-scalar

This attribute is used for VCS notification; specifically, VCS sends notifications to persons designated in this attribute when when an event occurs related to the cluster. See How Notification Works for more information.

If ClusterOwner is not specified in main.cf, the default value is "unknown".

ClusterTime

(system use only)

string-scalar

The number of seconds since January 1, 1970. This is defined by the lowest node in running state.

ClusterUUID

(system use only)

string-scalar

Unique UUIID assigned to the cluster by Availability Manager.

CompareRSM

(user-defined)

integer-scalar

Indicates if VCS engine is to verify that replicated state machine is consistent. This can be set by running the hadebug command.

Default = 0

ConnectorState

(system use only)

integer-scalar

Indicates the state of the wide-area connector (wac). If 0, wac is not running. If 1, wac is running and communicating with the VCS engine.

Default is non-applicable.

CounterInterval

(user-defined)

integer-scalar

Intervals counted by the attribute GlobalCounter indicating approximately how often a broadcast occurs that will cause the GlobalCounter attribute to increase.

The default value of the GlobalCounter increment can be modified by changing CounterInterval. If you increase this attribute to exceed five seconds, consider increasing the default value of the ShutdownTimeout attribute.

Default = 5

DumpingMembership

(system use only)

integer-scalar

Indicates that the engine is writing to disk.

Default is non-applicable.

EnginePriority

(user-defined)

string-scalar

Indicates the priority in which HAD runs.

Default is non-applicable.

GlobalCounter

(system use only)

integer-scalar

This counter increases incrementally by one for each counter interval. It increases when the broadcast is received.

VCS uses the GlobalCounter attribute to measure the time it takes to shut down a system. By default, the GlobalCounter attribute is updated every five seconds. This default value, combined with the 120-second default value of ShutdownTimeout, means if system goes down within twelve increments of GlobalCounter, it is treated as a fault. The default value of GlobalCounter increment can be modified by changing the CounterInterval attribute.

Default is non-applicable.

GroupLimit

(user-defined)

integer-scalar

Maximum number of service groups.

Default = 200

HacliUserLevel

(user-defined)

string-scalar

This attribute has two, case-sensitive values:

NONE–hacli is disabled for all users regardless of category.

COMMANDROOT–hacli is enabled for root only.

Default = NONE



Note    The command haclus -modify HacliUserLevel can be executed by root only.

LockMemory

(user-defined)

string-scalar

Controls the locking of VCS engine pages in memory. This attribute has three values. Values are case-sensitive:

ALL: Locks all current and future pages.

CURRENT: Locks current pages.

NONE: Does not lock any pages.

Default = ALL

LogSize

(user-defined)

integer-scalar

Size of engine log file.

Minimum value = 64KB

Maximum value = 128MB

Default value = 32MB

MajorVersion

(system use only)

integer-scalar

Major version of system's join protocol.

Default is non-applicable.

MinorVersion

(system use only)

integer-scalar

Minor version of system's join protocol.

Default is non-applicable.

Notifier

(system use only)

string-association

Indicates the status of the notifier in the cluster; specifically:

State, which describes current state of notifier, such as whether or not it is connected to VCS.

Host, which denotes the host on which notifier is currently running or was last running. Default = None

Severity, which denotes the severity level of messages queued by VCS for notifier. Messages as severe or more severe as assigned value are queued by VCS. Values include Information, Warning, Error, and SevereError. Default = Warning

Queue, which shows the current size of message queue for messages queued by VCS for notifier.

Operators

(user-defined)

string-keylist

Contains list of users with Cluster Operator privileges.

Default = ""

PanicOnNoMem

(system use only)

boolean-scalar

For internal use only.

PrintMsg

(user-defined)

boolean-scalar

Enables logging TagM messages in engine log if set to 1.

Default = 0

ProcessPriority

(user-defined)

string-scalar

Indicates the priority of HAD processes (for example, triggers).

Default = 0

ReadOnly

(user-defined)

integer-scalar

Indicates that cluster is in read-only mode.

Default = 1

ResourceLimit

(user-defined)

integer-scalar

Maximum number of resources.

Default = 5000

SecureClus

boolean-scalar

Indicates whether the cluster runs in secure mode. The value 1 indicated the cluster runs in secure mode. This attribute cannot be modified when VCS is running.

Default=0

SourceFile

(user-defined)

string-scalar

File from which the configuration was read. Always set to ./main.cf.

Default is non-applicable.

Stewards

(user-defined)

string-keylist

Specifies the IP address and hostname of systems running the steward process.

Default is non-applicable.

TypeLimit

(user-defined)

integer-scalar

Maximum number of resource types.

Default = 100

UseFence

(user-defined)

string-scalar

Indicates whether the cluster uses SCSI III I/O fencing.

The value SCSI3 indicates that the cluster uses I/O fencing; the value NONE indicates it does not.

Default = NONE

UserNames

(user-defined)

string-association

List of VCS user names.

Default = ""



Note    Default user name is "admin".

VCSi3Info

(system use only)

string-association

Enables VCS service groups to be mapped to VERITAS i3 applications. This attribute is managed by the i3 product and should not be set or modified by the user.

Contact your local VERITAS Sales Representative for more information on the benefits of integrating VCS availability management with i3 performance management.

VCSFeatures

(system use only)

integer-scalar

Indicates which VCS features are enabled. Possible values are:

  • 0---No features are enabled (VCS Simulator)
  • 1---L3+ is enabled
  • 2---Global Cluster Option is enabled

VCSMode

The TCP port on which the wac (Wide-Area Connector) process on the local cluster listens for connection from remote clusters. The attribute can take a value from 0 to 65535.

Default = 14155
