7.5.2.2. Usage
ccsd -f File
File
Specifies the local copy of the CCA file.
7.5.2.3. Example
This example starts
ccsd
on a node using a local copy of a CCA file.
ccsd -f /etc/sistina/ccs-build/alpha.cca
7.6. Combining CCS Methods
The shared block-device methodology described at the beginning of this chapter is the recommended
method for storing CCS data (Section 7.1 Creating a CCS Archive and Section 7.2 Starting CCS in
the Cluster ). The advantages are that there is no server point-of-failure and that updates to the CCS
archive happen atomically.
However, not every cluster has every node connected to the shared storage. For example, a cluster
may be built with external lock servers that do not have access to the shared storage. In that case, the
client/server methodology (Section 7.5.1 CCA File and Server ) could be employed, but that approach
introduces a server point-of-failure. Also, local file archives could be used on each node (Section 7.5.2
Local CCA Files ), but that approach makes updating the CCS archives difficult.
The best approach for storing CCS data may be a combination of the shared-device method and the
local-files method. For example, the cluster nodes attached to shared storage could use the shared-
device method, and the other nodes in the cluster could use the local-files approach. Combining those
two methods eliminates the possible point-of-failure and reduces the effort required to update a CCS
archive.
Note
When you update a CCS archive, update the shared-device archive first, then update the local
archives. Be sure to keep the archives synchronized .
