PRIMECLUSTER Installation and Administration Guide 4.1 (for Solaris(TM) Operating System)

5.1.3.2 Automatic Configure

The automatic configure process registers the connected hardware devices (shared disks, line switching units, and network interface cards) to the resource database.

Operation Procedure

1. Display the automatic configure screen by one of the following methods:
   • Respond to the "0708 [Initial setup] finished." message, which is displayed after initial setup is completed.
   • Select Tool -> Automatic configure from the CRM main window of Cluster Admin.

   [Screen for automatic configure]

   

   Network unit

   Select this item to detect network interfaces automatically and register them to the resource database.

   You must select this item to use public LAN takeover.

   Line switching unit

   Select this item to detect connected line switching units automatically and register them to the resource database.

   You must select this item to use the line takeover function.

   Disk unit

   Select this item to detect connected shared disk units automatically and register them to the resource database. You must select this item to use system disk mirroring or to use Global Disk Services (GDS) and Global File Services (GFS) in shared disk unit takeover.

   

   When you use the multipath disk control function to set shared disk units, the following messages may be displayed on the console, depending on the configuration:

   WARNING: mphd2048: paths setup information of command is reverse against device one.

   WARNING: mphd2049: paths setup information of command is reverse against device one.

   These messages indicate that connection of multipath disk that is stored in multipath disk control and actual connection of multipath disk are not identical. But multipath disk control automatically reconfigures the multipath according to the actual connection. You can ignore these messages.

   Continue button

   Click this button to detect the selected device type automatically and register it to the resource database.

   Cancel button

   Click this button to cancel processing and exit the screen.

2. Select the device type, and click the Continue.

   Processing is executed according to the following flow:

   

   

3. When automatic configure is completed, the following message is displayed:

   

4. When the initial setup and automatic configure are completed, the following screen appears.

   

5. When automatic configuration is completed, go to the CRM main window and confirm that the resource registration is completed by checking the following.
   • Whether the number of shared disk unit resources is less than the actual device configuration.
   • Whether any disks other than shared disk unit are registered as shared disk unit.
   • Whether the number of public LAN resources is less than the actual device configuration.
   • Whether all connected line switching units are displayed.

   If the actual device configuration and the resources do not match each other as described above, automatic detection may have been disabled because of one of the following causes:

   • There is a connection path failure between a host device and a disk array unit.
   • A disk array unit is not ready.
   • A network adapter failed.
   • A network adapter driver failed.
   • A line switching unit is not connected properly.
   • A line switching unit is not turned on.

   If the resources are not registered correctly, first review the above causes. Then in the CRM main window, select the Automatic configure in the Tool to re-register the resources.

If a message is displayed in the CRM main window during operation or a message is displayed in the message dialog box entitled "Cluster resource management facility," see the following manuals for details:

• "PRIMECLUSTER Cluster Foundation (CF) Configuration and Administration Guide"
  • "12.10 Resource Database messages"
• Appendix D in this manual
  • "Failed Resource and Operator Intervention Messages (GUI)"
  • "Display format 1" in "Searching for a Message."

• If you want to add, delete, or rename a disk class from the Global Disk Services screen after executing automatic configuration from the CRM main window, close the Cluster Admin screen.
• The following message may be displayed on the console during automatic configuration:

  FJSVcluster: Error: dcmevmd: 6000: An internal error occurred.
  (function:_evm_res_all_callback detail:0x9060b00-0x4-0-0)

  If this message is displayed, all the hardware devices registered to the resource database may not be displayed on the CRM tree view on the CRM main window. Restart the Cluster Admin screen and open the CRM main window again.
