These components provide the performance and reliability required by VCS.
LLT

GAB

LLT (Low Latency Transport) provides fast, ker network connections. The system admin configur file (llttab) that describes the systems in th among them. The LLT runs in layer 2 of the net GAB (Group membership and Atomic Broadcast) pr required to maintain a synchronised state amon such as that required by the VCS heartbeat uti driver by creating a configuration file ( gabt

LLT and GAB files


/etc/llthosts /etc/llttab /etc/gabtab /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf

The file is a database, containing one entry p ID with the hosts name. The file is identical The file contains information that is derived the utility lltconfig.

The file contains the information needed to co used by the gabconfig utility. The VCS configuration file. The file contains cluster and its systems.

LLT and GAB Commands


Verifying that links are active for LLT verbose output of the lltstat command open ports for LLT display the values of LLT configuration directives lists information about each configured LLT link List all MAC addresses in the cluster stop the LLT running start the LLT verify that GAB is operating stop GAB running start the GAB override the seed values in the gabtab file

Cluster Log Files

Log Directory primary log file (engine log file)

/var/VRTSvcs/log /var/VRTSvcs/log/engine_A.log

Starting and Stopping the cluster


"-stale" instructs the engine to treat the local config as stale "-force" instructs the engine to treat a stale config as a valid one Bring the cluster into running mode from a stale state using the configuration file from a particular server stop the cluster on the local server but leave the application/s running, do not failover the application/s stop cluster on local server but evacuate (failover) the application/s to another node within the cluster stop the cluster on all nodes but leave the application/s running

Cluster Status
display cluster summary continually monitor cluster verify the cluster is operating
hastatus -summary hastatus hasys -display

Cluster Details

Users
add a user modify a user delete a user display all users

System Operations
add a system to the cluster delete a system from the cluster Modify a system attributes list a system state Force a system to start Display the systems attributes
hasys hasys hasys hasys hasys hasys

-add <sys> -delete <sys> -modify <sys> <modify options -state -force -display [-sys]

List all the systems in the cluster Change the load attribute of a system Display the value of a systems nodeid (/etc/llthosts) Freeze a system (No offlining system, No groups onlining) Unfreeze a system ( reenable groups and resource back online)

hasys hasys hasys hasys

-list -load <system> <value> -nodeid -freeze [-persistent][-evacua

Note: main.cf must be in write mode hasys -unfreeze [-persistent]

Note: main.cf must be in write mode

Dynamic Configuration The VCS configuration must be in read/write mode in order to make changes. When in read/write mode the configuration becomes stale, a .stale file is created in $VCS_CONF/conf/config. When the configuration is put back into read only mode the .stale file is removed.
Change configuration to read/write mode Change configuration to read-only mode Check what mode cluster is running in
haconf -makerw haconf -dump -makero haclus -display |grep -i 'readonly' 0 = write mode 1 = read only mode hacf -verify /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config

Check the configuration file convert a main.cf file into cluster commands convert a command file into a main.cf file

Note: you can point to any directory as lo

Service Group Operations


Start a service group and bring its resources online Stop a service group and takes its resources offline Switch a service group from system to another Enable all the resources in a group Disable all the resources in a group Freeze a service group (disable onlining and offlining) Unfreeze a service group (enable onlining and offlining) Enable a service group. Enabled groups can only be brought online Disable a service group. Stop from bringing online Flush a service group and enable corrective action.

hares -offprop <resource> -sys <sy

hares -probe <resource> -sys <sys> hares -clear <resource> [-sys]

hatype hatype hatype hatype hatype hatype -add <type> -delete <type> -list -display <type> -resources <type> -value <type> <attr>

Resource Agents
add a agent remove a agent change a agent list all ha agents Display agents run-time information i.e has it started, is it running ?

Display agents faults
