About the VCS configuration language

The VCS configuration language specifies the makeup of service groups and their associated entities, such as resource types, resources, and attributes. These specifications are expressed in configuration files, whose names contain the suffix .cf. For example, the body of the configuration is in main.cf. Using an include statement, it references the file types.cf, which specifies resource types.

There are several ways to generate configuration files:

• Use the web-based Cluster Management Console
• Use Cluster Manager (Java Console).
• Use the command-line interface.
• If VCS is not running, use a text editor to create and modify the files.
