C.2.3.1 Resource state monitoring function for standby node

[Contents]

When creating cluster application, it is possible to convert standby node of GLS resource into "Standby" state by setting a value of "Standby Transition" attribute. If neglecting this configuration, it will not monitor the status of standby node of GLS resource. For reference, see "5.1.4 Monitoring resource status of standby node".

[Changes]

Before modification

GLS resource is set to "Offline" and it does not monitor the standby node of GLS resource state.

After modification

GLS resource is converted as "Standby" status and it monitors the standby node of GLS resource status.

[Notes]

• For GS/SURE linkage mode, the virtual interface on standby node side is inactive and its monitoring function stops. Therefore, it cannot monitor the GLS resource on the standby node. Unlike other modes, GS/SURE linkage mode does not require to specify "StandbyTransition" attribute because it does not run the resource monitoring.
• When attempting to restore the configuration file for 4.1A10 to the cluster system of version 4.1A20 or later using the backup function of a cluster system, the value "StandbyTransistion" attribute will not be set as the default value. If this configuration is used without any modification, it does not monitor the GLS resource status in standby node. In such case, temporary stop the cluster application and use Admin View to apply the "StandbyTransition" attribute in the configuration file.
