Configuring the Agent Manually

This section describes how to configure the agent using the Java Console in global and replicated data clusters.

Configuring the Agent in a Global Cluster

1. If the agent's resource type is not added to your configuration, add it.
   1. Start Cluster Manager and log on to the cluster.
   2. From the Cluster Explorer File menu, choose Import Types and select /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/HTCTypes.cf. 
   3. Click Import.
   4. Save the configuration.

     Note    You can also add the resource type using the command /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/sample_htc/addHTCType.sh.

2. Perform the following tasks for each service group in each cluster that uses replicated data:
   1. Add a resource of Type HTC at the bottom of the service group. See Sample Configuration for more information.
   2. Configure its attributes. See Attribute Definitions for more information about these attributes.
   3. If the service group is not configured as a global group, configure it using the Global Group Configuration Wizard. See the VERITAS Cluster Server User's Guide for more information.
   4. Change the ClusterFailOverPolicy from the default. if necessary. VERITAS recommends keeping the default, which is Manual, to minimize the chance of failing over on a split-brain.

Configuring the Agent in a Replicated Data Cluster

1. If the agent's resource type is not added to your configuration, add it.
   1. Start Cluster Manager and log on to the cluster.
   2. From the Cluster Explorer File menu, choose Import Types and select /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/HTCTypes.cf.
   3. Click Import.
   4. Save the configuration.

2. Perform the following tasks for each service group that uses TrueCopy to replicate data:
   1. Add a resource of type HTC at the bottom of the service group. See Sample Configuration for more information.
   2. Configure its attributes. See Attribute Definitions for more information about these attributes. Note that some attributes may need to be localized to reflect values for hosts attached to different arrays.
   3. Set the SystemZones attribute for the service group to reflect which hosts are attached to the same array. See Individual Component Failure for more information.
