Registering Critical Devices Listed in a File

Important - In a Cluster, you must configure all the Cluster Members in the same way.

Description

This command registers all the user-defined Critical Devices listed in the specified file.

This file must be a plain-text ASCII file, with each Critical Device defined on a separate line.

Each definition must contain three parameters, which must be separated by a space or a tab character:

<Name of Device> <Timeout> <Status>

Where:

Parameter

Description

<Name of Device>

The name of the Critical Device.

  • Maximal name length is 15 characters

  • The name must not include white spaces (space or tab characters).

<Timeout>

If the Critical Device <Name of Device> fails to report its state to the Cluster Member within this specified number of seconds, the Critical Device (and by design the Cluster Member), are seen as failed.

For no timeout, use the value 0 (zero).

<Status>

The Critical Device <Name of Device> reports one of these statuses to the Cluster Member:

  • ok - Critical Device is alive.

  • init- Critical Device is initializing. The Cluster Member is Down. In this state, the Cluster Member cannot become Active.

  • problem - Critical Device failed. If this state is reported to ClusterXL, the Cluster Member immediately goes Down. This causes a failover.
