Register services and applications for the failover operation in MSCS on only one node using Cluster Administrator.
This section explains the following operation procedures:
The failover operation is processed per group in a cluster.
Register an environment consisting of an active/standby node pair as a single group in MSCS.
The items to be registered in a group are as follows:
Symfoware Server database cluster service
Cluster IP address
Network name
Shared disk
To register a group:
Start group registration
Click [Cluster Administrator] >> [File] >> [New] >> [Group].
Specify the name of the group
A window for configuring a new group is displayed.
Specify the name and description of the group to be registered, and then click [Next].
Specify the preferred owner of the group.
Specify the sequence of the nodes for determining on which node the group to be registered is to be preferentially executed.
Clicking [Finish] registers the group.
Point
One database cluster forms one group, so give each database cluster a group name that makes it easily recognizable.
Registering a cluster IP address
Register a cluster IP address for the group.
To register a cluster IP address:
Start resource registration
Click [Cluster Administrator] >> [File] >> [New] >> [Resource].
Specify the name of a resource
A window for configuring the new resource is displayed.
Specify the name, description, resource type, and group of the resource to be registered, and then click [Next].
Specify the executable owners
A window for setting the executable owners is displayed.
Specify a node and click [Next].
Specify the dependency relationships
A window for configuring dependency relationships is displayed. Specify the resources that must be brought online by MSCS and click [Next].
Specify the cluster IP address parameters
Specify the network, address, and subnet mask to be used, and then click [Finish].
The following table shows the settings for the cluster IP address to be registered:
Item | Setting |
|---|---|
Resource name | Any name |
Resource type | "IP address" |
Group | Group name of database cluster |
Executable owners | Nodes making up the cluster system |
Network to be used | Network name |
Address | Value of the TCP/IP address |
Subnet mask | Subnet mask |
Register the virtual network name corresponding to the IP address.
An IP address is required for this resource, so register the corresponding IP address for the same group and configure the dependency relationships.
Refer to "Registering a cluster IP address" for information on registering a network name.
Moving the shared disk to a different group
Move the shared disk that was defined when you developed the cluster system using MSCS to the group you registered as explained in "Registering a group".
To move the shared disk to a different group:
Select the shared disk
Select the shared disk to be moved and click [Cluster Administrator] >> [File] >> [Move Group].
Select the destination group
Select the destination group from the list of created groups.
Register a database cluster service as a single resource in MSCS.
To register a service:
Start resource registration
Click [Cluster Administrator] >> [File] >> [New] >> [Resource].
Specify the name of a resource
A window for configuring the new resource is displayed.
Specify the name, description, resource type, and group of the resource to be registered, and then click [Next].
Specify information such as the dependency relationships.
The following table shows the settings for each service to be registered:
Item | Setting |
|---|---|
Resource name | Any name |
Resource type | "Generic service" |
Group | Group created in accordance with this chapter |
Executable owners | Nodes making up the cluster system |
Dependency relationships | Shared disk configured in accordance with this chapter Cluster IP address configured in accordance with this chapter |
Service name | Service name registered as explained in "Creating a database cluster" |
