2.6.1.2 Server cluster operation

This section explains a setup procedure of NetWorker Server cluster operation.

  3. Set attributes in the “Nwsv” setup screen.




    Attributes

    Description

    ScriptTimeout

    default_value[:[offline_value][:online_value]]
    Default 300 (60 - 86400)
    Specify timeout period for launching of Online/Offline processing.
    When the timeout time passes, RMS transmits the stop signal to the script. Timeout value of OfflineScript (offline_value) and OnlineScript (online_value) can be separately set.

    Interval

    Default 10 (5 - 60)
    Specify interval time for monitoring NetWorker.

    LogSize

    Default 512 (10 - 4096)
    Specify the size of the log files for the script and the detector.
    If size is over the range of specified size, change the name to *.old and create a new file.

    VirtualPath

    Specify the pathname of the NetWorker directory on the shared disk.
    /nsr cannot be specified for VirtualPath because /nsr needs to be a symbolic link that points the NetWorker directory.

    LocalPath

    Specify the pathname of the NetWorker directory on the local disk.
    The initial value is the directory pointed by the symbolic link /nsr, and it does not usually need to be changed.
    /nsr cannot be specified for VirtualPath because /nsr needs to be a symbolic link that points the NetWorker directory.

    VirtualHost

    The logical node name that the NetWorker server uses is set. As for the initial value, the logical node name defined by "2.5 Defining Logical Node Name" is displayed. Make a set content a blank when you use node name takeover of takeover network resource of PRIMECLUSTER.

    Flags

    NullDetector(D)

    Select whether or not the NetWorker resource is monitored.
    If it is enabled, the resource is not monitored. In that case, Standby processing is not performed and the NetWorker resource is Offline state in the STANDBY node. Therefore, the NetWorker client does not run in the STANDBY node.
    As default, the setting is disabled and the NetWorker resource is monitored.

    WarningOnly(W)

    Select whether or not failover is performed. If it is enabled,when the NetWorker resource failure occurs, the NetWorker resource which is Online state becomes Warning state, and the NetWorker resource which is Standby state becomes Faulted state. In any case, failover is not performed.
    As default, the setting is disabled and failover is performed.

    AutoRecover(A)

    Select whether or not recovering the NetWorker resource is attempted before failover in the event of NetWorker resource failure.
    If it is enabled, the NetWorker resource is recovered and NetWorker is restarted.
    As default, the setting is enabled and the NetWorker resource is recovered.

    DeviceName

    Specify device pathname of tape devices.
    If this is specified, SCSI reset is performed to specified devices just before NetWorker starts.
    The setting must be specified to share tape devices on SCSI multi-initiate connection.
    If more than one tape device exist, specify by entering ":" between device pathname.

    PreOnlineScript

    Executed before Online processing.
    No default

    PostOnlineScript

    Executed after Online processing.
    No default

    PreOfflineScript

    Executed before Offline processing.
    No default

    PostOfflineScript

    Executed after Offline processing.
    No default

    FaultScript

    Executed when a fault occurs.
    No default
