This section describes how to use the "userApplication Configuration Wizard" to register cluster applications (userApplication) to RMS.
Note that the operation procedure varies depending on the topology of the cluster application.
Note
userApplication name
When you create a cluster application, enter a name of the userApplication and then select a topology.
The userApplication name must be a string of 18 or fewer characters starting with an alphabetic letter and consisting of alphanumerics and "_" (underscore) only.
Moreover, for this name, do not use the same name ("generic") as the type of userApplication.
Example: userApp_0
This section explains how to register standby cluster applications to RMS by using the "userApplication Configuration Wizard."
The flow of the process for registering the Standby cluster applications is shown below.
Figure 6.49 Flow of cluster application registration
Starting cluster application creation
At the top menu of the "userApplication Configuration Wizard," select Create userApplication.
Figure 6.50 Top menu of userApplication Configuration Wizard
Click Next to go to the "Set up userApplication name and operation method" screen.
Setting the userApplication name and the operation method
Enter the userApplication name and the operation method.
Figure 6.51 Set up userApplication name and operation method
Specify the name of the cluster application.
Specify the input character string using up to 18 characters starting with an alphabetic letter and consisting of only alphanumeric characters and "_" (underscore).
Specify Standby (standby operation) or Scalable (scalable operation) as the operation method of the cluster application.
Standby
This is the default operation method. When multiple SysNode are selected, "priority" values must be set.
Scalable
This is only for the cluster application resources displayed in Resource Selection. The priority does not need to be set even if multiple SysNode are selected.
After completing the setup, click Next to go to the "Select SysNode" screen.
Selecting a SysNode
Select the SysNode in which the cluster application is to be configured.
Figure 6.52 Select SysNode
Contains names of available SysNodes that belong to the specified RMS configuration.
The name of the SysNode in which the cluster application is to be operated. The priority of SysNode is determined by the sequence in which SysNode are listed in this box. SysNode displayed at the top of the list becomes the Online SysNode when userApplication is started.
From Available SysNode, select the SysNodes in which the cluster application is to be built, and then click Add. To add all listed SysNodes, click Add all. To remove a SysNode, select the SysNode to be removed from Selected SysNode, and then click Remove. To remove all listed SysNodes, click Remove all.
After completing the setup, click Next to go to the "Set up attribute" screen.
Setting cluster application attributes
Refer to the items below when setting up the cluster application attributes:
To start the cluster application automatically when the cluster is started
Set "AutoStartUp" to "Yes."
Note
If you use a standby cluster application for scalable operation, you must set "AutoStartUp" to "No." Scalable operation controls the startup of a standby cluster application.
Action to take if another error occurs during failover (double failure)
Set "HaltFlag" to "Yes."
Note
To ensure safe operation, be sure to set this item to "Yes."
For Standby operation
To monitor the resource state of the standby node, set "StandbyTransitions" to "ClearFaultRequest|StartUp|SwitchRequest."
Note
If GLS (Redundant Line Control Function) is used, please make sure to set "ClearFaultRequest|StartUp|SwitchRequest" for "StandbyTransitions" so that the Gls resources on a Standby node can be monitored.
For details on attribute, see "6.7.5 Attributes."
Figure 6.53 Set up attribute
After completing the set up, click Next to go to the "Select Resource" screen.
Selecting resources
Enter the resources to be used by the cluster application.
Figure 6.54 Select Resource
The names of the resources that can be shared among the selected SysNodes are displayed. An available resource is one that was created with the same name in all the SysNodes that are specified by the cluster application.
You cannot share one resource with multiple userApplication. The resource that is used for other userApplication is not displayed.
The resources to be registered to the cluster application are displayed.
From Available Resource, select the resources to be used by the cluster application, and then click Add. To add all listed resources, click Add all. To remove a resource, select the resource to be removed from Selected Resource, and then click Remove. To remove all listed resources, click Remove all.
After completing the setup, click Next to go to the "Confirm registration" screen.
Checking the registration information of a cluster application
Check the registration information of the cluster application.
Figure 6.55 Confirm registration
Select this checkbox to enable the patrol diagnosis facility in the cluster application. See "6.9 Setting Up Patrol Diagnosis."
This button is always inactive.
The attributes displayed here cannot be changed. To change the attributes, you must return to "Setting cluster application attributes."
Check the registration information, and then click Registration.
Note
The patrol diagnosis facility can be used in Standby operation. To enable the patrol diagnosis facility, set "ClearFaultRequest|StartUp|SwitchRequest" to "StandbyTransitions" of the cluster application. For details on attributes, see "6.7.5 Attributes."
The resource name of the patrol diagnosis facility is "patrol_" + "cluster application name." This resource name cannot be changed.
This section explains how to register scalable cluster applications to RMS by using the "userApplication Configuration Wizard."
The flow of the procedure for registering a scalable cluster application is shown below:
Figure 6.56 Flow of Scalable cluster application registration
Preparing standby cluster applications
The scalable cluster application performs scalable operation by interconnecting multiple standby cluster applications. Before creating a scalable cluster application, you have to create the standby cluster applications that constitute the components of the scalable cluster application.
Figure 6.57 Preparing Standby cluster applications
For details on how to create Standby cluster applications, see "6.7.2.1 Creating Standby Cluster Applications."
Starting up Create Cluster Applications
Specify Create userApplication from the top menu of "userApplication Configuration Wizard."
