Configuring the Cluster Management Console manually

The resources required for the Cluster Management Console are configured in the ClusterService group. This configuration is performed by the VCS installation program if the Cluster Management Console option is selected during installation. If the Cluster Management Console option was not selected during VCS installation, you must create and configure the ClusterService service group manually.

To configure the Cluster Management Console

1. Create a service group called ClusterService.
2. Add a resource of type NIC to the service group. Name the resource csgnic.

   Set the value of the Device attribute to the name of the NIC. Configure other attributes, if desired.

3. Add a resource of type IP to the service group. Name the resource webip.
4. Configure the following attributes for the IP resource:
   • Address: A virtual IP address assigned to the Cluster Management Console. The Cluster Management Console is accessed using this IP address.
   • Device: The name of the public network card on the system from which the Cluster Management Console is intended to run. The device is defined as a local attribute for each system in the cluster.
   • NetMask: The subnet to which the virtual IP address belongs.
   • Critical: Set this attribute to 1(indicating True) to make webip a critical resource.
5. Add a resource of type VRTSWebApp to the service group. Name the resource VCSweb. Configure the following attributes for the resource:
   • Appname: Set to cmc.
   • InstallDir: Set to /opt/VRTSweb/VERITAS.
   • TimeForOnline: Set to 5.
   • Critical: Set to 0 (indicating False).
6. Create the following resource dependencies:
   • Link the csgnic and webip resources such that the webip resource depends on the csgnic resource.
   • Link the VCSweb and webip resources, such that the VCSweb resource depends on the webip resource.
7. Enable all resources in the service group.
8. Bring the ClusterService service group online. You can now access the console at the URL http://IP_alias:8181/vcs. The variable IP_alias is the virtual IP address configured in the service group.
