NAME

7       ccs - Cluster Configuration System

DESCRIPTION

11       A  cluster  environment  that  shares resources has information that is
12       essential to correct operation which must be available to every node in
13       the  cluster.  This information may include: names of the nodes compos‐
14       ing the cluster, I/O fencing methods, and more.  CCS is the system that
15       makes  it  possible for the nodes in a cluster to retrieve the informa‐
16       tion they need.

OVERVIEW

20       The following is a generic description of the steps one should take  to
21       produce a working CCS environment.
22
23
24   Step 1
25       Choose  a  cluster  name.   It is important to determine a name for the
26       cluster before starting.  The cluster name is what binds a  machine  to
27       specific resources that can only be shared by machines that are members
28       of the same cluster name.
29
30
31   Step 2
32       Create the directory /etc/cluster.
33
34
35   Step 3
36       Create the  /etc/cluster/cluster.conf  file,  according  to  the  clus‐
37       ter.conf(5) man page, on one node in your cluster.
38
39
40   Step 4
41       Start  ccsd  and  test the cluster.conf file by using ccs_test.  If you
42       haven't started a cluster manager  yet,  you  should  use  the  'force'
43       option to ccs_test - see the ccs_test(8) man page for more info.
44
45       If  a  failure  occurs  while  parsing the config file, ccs_test should
46       report "ccs_connect failed: No data  available"  and  /var/log/messages
47       should report "Unable to parse /etc/cluster/cluster.conf".
