8.3.5 Creating Resources

Create Shunsaku resources on MSCS.

Create Shunsaku as a generic service resource.

Create resources for the conductor, sorters, and directors using the following procedure:

Note that the conductor resources should be created after the sorter resources and director resources have been created.

1. Start the cluster service.

   To start the cluster service, select Administrative Tools, Services, and then Cluster Service from the Control Panel.

2. Start the Cluster Administrator.

   To start the Cluster Administrator, select Administrative Tools and then Cluster Administrator from the Control Panel.

3. Create new resources.

   Select New and then Resource from the File menu.

   The following table shows the items that are displayed in each dialog box for creating resources, the settings for each item, and the operations that should be performed after the settings are made.

   [Table 8-2 Dialogs Displayed during Resource Creation ]

   Dialog	Item	Setting
   New Resource	Name	Specify one of the following: Conductor-identifier Sorter-identifier Director-identifier
   	Resource Type	Specify Generic Service.
   	Group	Select the same group for all resources created.
   Possible Owner	Available Node	Set the nodes for both the active server and the standby server.
   Dependencies	Resource Dependencies	Add IP addresses, network names, and shared disks. When creating the conductor resources, set all director and sorter resources as resource dependencies. This ensures that the conductor is not started until after the directors and sorters have started.
   Generic Service Parameters	Service Name	Specify one of the following: For the conductor: "shuncsvc_shunsaku system name_conductor- identifier" For sorters: "shunosvc_shunsaku system name_sorter-identifier" For directors: "shundsvc_shunsaku system name_director-identifier"
   Registry Replication	Registry Key	-
   Cluster Administrator	-	-
   The Advanced tab of the Cluster Administrator Resource Properties dialog box	Prevent failback / Allow failback	Select Allow failback
   	Affect the group	Select this checkbox.
   	Threshold	Specify "0".
   	Period	This value is the time that the cluster application will wait for Shunsaku to finish starting up after the nodes switch over. If Shunsaku does not finish starting up within the specified number of seconds, a fault will be regarded as having occurred. Measure the startup time in the user environment by performing startup tests for the cluster application, and set an appropriate value.
