CounterInterval 

(user-defined) 

Intervals counted by the attribute GlobalCounter indicating approximately how often a broadcast occurs that will cause the GlobalCounter attribute to increase.

  • Type and dimension: integer-scalar
  • Default: 5

CredRenewFrequency 

The number of days after which the VCS engine renews its credentials with the authentication broker. For example, the value 5 indicates that credentials are renewed every 5 days; the value 0 indicates that credentials are not renewed.

(user-defined) 

Defines the options for the hastop command. The attribute can assume the following values: 

Enable—Process all hastop commands. This is the default behavior.  

Disable—Reject all hastop commands.  

DisableClusStop—Do not process the hastop -all command; process all other hastop commands.

  • Type and dimension: string-scalar
  • Default: Enable

GlobalCounter 

(system use only) 

This counter increases incrementally by one for each counter interval. It increases when the broadcast is received. 

VCS uses the GlobalCounter attribute to measure the time it takes to shut down a system. By default, the GlobalCounter attribute is updated every five seconds. This default value, combined with the 120-second default value of ShutdownTimeout, means if system goes down within twelve increments of GlobalCounter, it is treated as a fault. The default value of GlobalCounter increment can be modified by changing the CounterInterval attribute.
