Create the cluster resources

 < Day Day Up > 



Create the cluster resources

We followed these steps to create the cluster resources.

Create the oserv cluster resource

In order for the oserv service to fail over, we created a resource in the cluster manager for both oserv services. We opened up the cluster manager first on the primary node, and then on the secondary node. We right-clicked the cluster group and selected new resource . We defined the oserv as a Generic Service and added the required information.

Create the trip cluster resource

The trip service is required for the oserv to process correctly, so we also had to create a resource for it in the cluster manager. We opened up the cluster manager on either the primary or secondary node, right-clicked the cluster group, and selected new resource . We defined trip as a generic service and added the required information.

Set up the resource dependencies

To set up the resource dependencies, right-click the oserv resource and set it so that the virtual hostname, virtual IP, quorum disk, shared disk and trip are set as dependencies. Without setting up these dependencies, the oserv could possibly get in to an infinite failover loop.

Validate and backup

Follow these steps to validate and back up your configuration.

Test failover

Open the cluster manager and initiate a failover. Verify that the oserv service starts on each node. If failover works, bring down the oserv on each node and verify that the cluster will fail over successfully. If the backup of the Tivoli databases works, it means that you have successfully installed Framework 3.7b on a Windows cluster.

Back up the Tivoli databases

This is the most important part of the installation-if all the validation tests are positive, back up your Tivoli databases by running the wbkupdb command.
