7.2.1 Setting procedure before configuring SF

Before creating the configuration file, take the following procedure:

  1. Checking system requirements

    Take the following steps to check the system requirements.

    • Establishing user feature requirements

    • Monitoring the cluster node and establishing the usage of SF for the shutdown

    • Determining the most suitable shutdown agent

  2. Planning the configuration of the shutdown agent

    The following are necessary to plan the configuration of the shutdown agent.

    • A node monitored by SF

    • Shutdown agent

    The configuration design is determined depending on the environment where SF is used, and depending on requirements specified for the node.

    The monitoring by SF should also be determined in detail.
    (Shutdown agent or flow of usage, for example)

  3. Defining Shutdown Agent (SA) to be configured in SF

    When all the cluster interconnects are disabled due to a hung or a failure of the node that configures the cluster system, the node should be forcibly stopped. For this reason, SA should be defined. When defining SA, check the hardware model and configure the suitable shutdown agent for the model.
