Verifying agent configuration

This section describes how to verify the agent configuration.

To verify the agent configuration

Enter the cluster status command from any node in the cluster:

# cfscluster status

Output resembles:

Node : system01

Cluster Manager : running

CVM state : running

No mount point registered with cluster configuration

Node : system02

Cluster Manager : running

CVM state : running

No mount point registered with cluster configuration

Synchronizing time on Cluster File Systems

SFCFS requires that the system clocks on all nodes are synchronized using some
external component such as the Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon. If the
nodes are not in sync, timestamps for change (

ctime

) and modification (

mtime

)

may not be consistent with the sequence in which operations actually happened.

Configuring VCS

Configuring VCS means conveying to the VCS engine the definitions of the
cluster, service groups, resources, and resource dependencies. VCS uses two
configuration files in a default configuration:

The

main.cf

file defines the entire cluster.

The

types.cf

file defines the resource types.

By default, both files reside in the directory

/etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config

.

Additional files similar to

types.cf

may be present if agents have been added,

such as

Oracletypes.cf

.
