Figure 1.9. Accessing Configuration Information

The cluster configuration file (

/etc/cluster/cluster.conf

) is an XML file that describes the

following cluster characteristics:

• Cluster name — Displays the cluster name, cluster configuration file revision level, locking

type (either DLM or GULM), and basic fence timing properties used when a node joins a

cluster or is fenced from the cluster.

• Cluster — Displays each node of the cluster, specifying node name, node ID, number of

quorum votes, and fencing method for that node.

• Fence Device — Displays fence devices in the cluster. Parameters vary according to the type

of fence device. For example for a power controller used as a fence device, the cluster

configuration defines the name of the power controller, its IP address, login, and password.

• Managed Resources — Displays resources required to create cluster services. Managed

resources includes the definition of failover domains, resources (for example an IP address),

and services. Together the managed resources define cluster services and failover behavior

of the cluster services.
