ActiveCount 

(system use only) 

Number of resources in a service group that are active (online or waiting to go online). When the number drops to zero, the service group is considered offline. 

• Type and dimension: integer-scalar
• Default: Not applicable.

AdministratorGroups 

(user-defined) 

List of operating system user account groups that have administrative privileges on the service group.  

This attribute applies to clusters running in secure mode.  

• Type and dimension: string-keylist
• Default: {} (none)

Administrators 

(user-defined) 

List of VCS users with privileges to administer the group.  

Note   A Group Administrator can perform all operations related to a specific service group, but cannot perform generic cluster operations.

See About the VCS user privilege model. 

• Type and dimension: string-keylist
• Default: {} (none)

Authority 

(user-defined) 

Indicates whether or not the local cluster is allowed to bring the service group online. If set to 0, it is not, if set to 1, it is. Only one cluster can have this attribute set to 1 for a specific global group.  

See Serialization-The Authority attribute. 

• Type and dimension: integer-scalar
• Default: 0

AutoDisabled 

(system use only) 

Indicates that VCS does not know the status of a service group (or specified system for parallel service groups). This can occur because the group is not probed (on specified system for parallel groups) in the SystemList attribute. Or the VCS engine is not running on a node designated in the SystemList attribute, but the node is visible. 

When VCS does not know the status of a service group on a node but you want VCS to consider the service group enabled, perform this command to change the AutoDisabled value to 0. 

hagrp -autoenable grp -sys sys1 

This command instructs VCS that even though VCS has marked the service group auto-disabled, you are sure that the service group is not online on sys1. For failover service groups, this is important because the service groups now can be brought online on remaining nodes. 

• Type and dimension: boolean-scalar
• Default: 0

AutoFailOver 

(user-defined) 

Indicates whether VCS initiates an automatic failover if the service group faults.  

The attribute can take the following values: 

• 0—VCS does not fail over the service group.
• 1—VCS automatically fails over the service group if a suitable node exists for failover.
• 2—VCS automatically fails over the service group only if a suitable node exists in the same system zone where the service group was online.

  To set the value as 2, you must have enabled HA/DR license and the service group must not be hybrid. If you have not defined system zones, the failover behavior is similar to 1.

See "Controlling failover on service group or system faults" on page 365. 

• Type and dimension: integer-scalar
• Default: 1 (enabled)

AutoRestart 

(user-defined)

• Type and dimension: boolean-scalar
• Default: 1 (enabled)

AutoStartList 

(user-defined) 

List of systems on which, under specific conditions, the service group will be started with VCS (usually at system boot). For example, if a system is a member of a failover service group's AutoStartList attribute, and if the service group is not already running on another system in the cluster, the group is brought online when the system is started. 

VCS uses the AutoStartPolicy attribute to determine the system on which to bring the service group online. 

Note   For the service group to start, AutoStart must be enabled and Frozen must be 0. Also, beginning with 1.3.0, you must define the SystemList attribute prior to setting this attribute.

• Type and dimension: string-keylist
• Default: {} (none)

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

ClusterFailOverPolicy 

(user-defined) 

Determines how a global service group behaves when a cluster faults or when a global group faults. The attribute can take the following values: 

Manual—The group does not fail over to another cluster automatically.

• Type and dimension: boolean-scalar
• Default: 1

FromQ 

(system use only) 

Indicates the system name from which the service group is failing over. This attribute is specified when service group failover is a direct consequence of the group event, such as a resource fault within the group or a group switch. 

• Type and dimension: string-association
• Default: Not applicable

Frozen 

(user-defined) 

Disables all actions, including autostart, online and offline, and failover, except for monitor actions performed by agents. (This convention is observed by all agents supplied with VCS.) 

• Type and dimension: boolean-scalar
• Default: 0 (not frozen)

GroupOwner 

(user-defined) 

VCS sends email notification to the person designated in this attribute when an event occurs related to the service group. VCS also logs the owner name when an event occurs. 

Make sure to set the severity level at which you want notifications to the group owner to at least one recipient defined in the SmtpRecipients attribute of the NotifierMngr agent.  

For example, to send notifications at the Information severity level to user groupadmin@yourcompany.com:

(system use only) 

Indicates that VCS engine invoked the preonline script; however, the script has not yet returned with group online. 

• Type and dimension: integer-scalar
• Default: Not applicable

PreonlineTimeout 

(user-defined) 

Defines the maximum amount of time in seconds the preonline script takes to run the command
hagrp -online -nopre for the group. Note that HAD uses this timeout during evacuation only. For example, when a user runs the command hastop -local -evacuate and the Preonline trigger is invoked on the system on which the service groups are being evacuated.

PreSwitch 

(user-defined) 

Indicates whether VCS engine should invoke PreSwitch actions in response to a manual service group switch operation. 

Note   The engine does not invoke the PreSwitch action during a group fault or when you use -any option to switch a group.

This attribute must be defined in the global group definition on the remote cluster. This attribute takes the following values: 

0—VCS engine switches the service group normally. 

1—VCS engine switches the service group based on the output of PreSwitch action of the resources. 

If you set the value as 1, the VCS engine looks for any resource in the service group that supports PreSwitch action. If the action is not defined for any resource, the VCS engine switches a service group normally. 

If the action is defined for one or more resources, then the VCS engine invokes PreSwitch action for those resources. If all the actions succeed, the engine switches the service group. If any of the actions fail, the engine aborts the switch operation. 

The engine invokes the PreSwitch action in parallel and waits for all the actions to complete to decide whether to perform a switch operation. The VCS engine reports the action's output to the engine log. The PreSwitch action does not change the configuration or the cluster state.  

See Administering global service groups
