Optional attributes for LPAR agent

Table:

Optional attributes

Description

ProfileName

Name of the profile used to start LPAR. If you do not provide the profile name, the agent uses the default profile.

Type-dimension: string-scalar

Default: NA

Example: {lpar1}

VIOSName

Names of the virtual input output servers (VIO servers) that provide virtual resources to the LPAR. If there are multiple VIO servers available for an LPAR, you must specify names of all the VIO servers in the attribute so that VCS does not treat the LPAR as faulted till all the VIO servers go down.

If one VIO server fails, LPARs can perform input and output operations through the other VIO servers. When all the VIO servers specified in the VIOSName attribute are down, VCS fails over the managed LPAR to another system.

If you do not specify VIOSName, the LPAR agent does not fail over the LPAR after a VIO server crash.

Type-dimension: string-keylist

Default: NA

Example: {vios1, vios2 }

ProfileFile

Absolute path of the LPAR profile file on the management LPAR.

Type-dimension: string-scalar

Default: NA

Example: "/config/lpar-profile.profile"

For the steps to create a profile file, refer to the Veritas InfoScale Virtualization Guide for AIX.

RemoveProfileOnOffline

If this attribute is set to 1, LPAR configuration and its VIOS mappings (as specified in the profile file present in the path mentioned in the ProfileFile attribute) are deleted after the LPAR resource is brought offline or is faulted.

Type-dimension: boolean-scalar

Default: 0

DROpts

Defines the DR options. The value of this attribute consists of the following keys:

  • DNSSearchPath: The domain search path used by the LPAR in this site. The value of this key must contain a list of DNS domain names that are used for the DNS lookup of a hostname in case the domain name of the hostname is not specified. Use spaces to separate the domain names.

  • DNSServers: The list of DNS servers used by the LPAR in this site. The value of this key must contain a list of IP addresses of DNS servers that are used for the DNS lookup of a hostname. Use spaces to separate the IP addresses.

  • Gateway: The default gateway used by the LPAR in this site.

  • Device: Interface name on which to plumb the IP address.

  • IPAddress: The IP address to be assigned to the LPAR in this site after a cross-site failover.

  • Netmask: The netmask to be used by the LPAR in this site after a cross-site failover.

  • ConfigureNetwork: Setting used by the LPAR. The DROpts attribute value is applied to the LPAR only if this key is set to 1.

  • DomainName: Name of the domain for this site.

  • HostName: Host name of the LPAR to be applied after a cross-site failover.

If any of the keys are not specified or have default value, the vcsnr script retains all the configuration that is inside the LPAR on which this script is installed.
