Attributes

Required attributes

Required attribute	Description
IpAddress	The IP address or DNS name of a node in the remote cluster. The IP address can be either physical or virtual.  When configuring a virtual IP address of a remote cluster, do not configure the IP resource as a part of the remote service group.  Type and dimension: string-scalar  Example: "www.example.com" or "11.183.12.214"
Port	The port on which the remote engine listens for requests.  This is an optional attribute, unless the remote cluster listens on a port other than the default value of 14141.  Type and dimension: integer-scalar  Default: 14141
GroupName	The name of the service group on the remote cluster that you want the RemoteGroup agent to monitor or manage.  Type and dimension: string-scalar  Example: "DBGrp"
VCSSysName	You must set this attribute to either the VCS system name or the ANY value.  ANY The RemoteGroup resource goes online if the remote service group is online on any node in the remote cluster. VCSSysName Use the name of a VCS system in a remote cluster where you want the remote service group to be online when the RemoteGroup resource goes online. Use this to establish a one-to-one mapping between the nodes of the local and remote clusters. Type and dimension: string-scalar  Example: "vcssys1" or "ANY"
ControlMode	Select only one of these values to determine the mode of operation of the RemoteGroup resource: MonitorOnly, OnlineOnly, or OnOff.   OnOff The RemoteGroup resource brings the remote service group online or takes it offline. When you set the VCSSysName attribute to ANY, the SysList attribute of the remote service group determines the node where the remote service group onlines. MonitorOnly The RemoteGroup resource only monitors the state of the remote service group. The RemoteGroup resource cannot online or offline the remote service group. Make sure that you bring the remote service group online before you online the RemoteGroup resource. OnlineOnly The RemoteGroup resource only brings the remote service group online. The RemoteGroup resource cannot take the remote service group offline. When you set the VCSSysName attribute to ANY, the SysList attribute of the remote service group determines the node where the remote service group onlines. Type and dimension: string-scalar
Username	This is the login user name for the remote cluster.   When you set the ControlMode attribute to OnOff or OnlineOnly, the Username must have administrative privileges for the remote service group that you specify in the GroupName attribute.  When you use the RemoteGroup Wizard to enter your username data, you need to enter your username and the domain name in separate fields. For a cluster that has the Symantec Product Authentication Service, you do not need to enter the domain name.  For a secure remote cluster:  Local Unix user user@nodename—where the nodename is the name of the node that is specified in the IpAddress attribute. Do not set the DomainType attribute. NIS or NIS+ user user@domainName—where domainName is the name of the NIS or NIS+ domain for the user. You must set the value of the DomainType attribute to either to nis or nisplus. Type and dimension: string-scalar  Example:   For a cluster without the Symantec Product Authentication Service: "johnsmith" For a secure remote cluster: "foobar@example.com"
Password	This is the password that corresponds to the user that you specify in the Username attribute. You must encrypt the password with the vcsencrypt -agent command.     Note   Do not use the vcsencrypt utility when entering passwords from a configuration wizard or from the Cluster Management Console or the Cluster Manager (Java Console). Type and dimension: string-scalar
