6.3. Modifying the Cluster Configuration

To modify the cluster configuration (the cluster configuration file (/etc/cluster/cluster.conf),
use the Cluster Configuration Tool. For more information about using the Cluster Configuration
Tool, refer to Chapter 5, Configuring Red Hat Cluster With
Warning
Do not manually edit the contents of the /etc/cluster/cluster.conf file without
guidance from an authorized Red Hat representative or unless you fully understand the
consequences of editing the /etc/cluster/cluster.conf file manually.
Important
Although the Cluster Configuration Tool provides a Quorum Votes parameter in
the Properties dialog box of each cluster member, that parameter is intended only for
use during initial cluster configuration. Furthermore, it is recommended that you retain
the default Quorum Votes value of 1. For more information about using the Cluster
Configuration Tool, refer to
config-cluster.
Description
The node is part of the cluster.
Note: A node can be a member of a cluster; however, the node may be
inactive and incapable of running services. For example, if rgmanager
is not running on the node, but all other cluster software components are
running in the node, the node appears as a Member in the Cluster Status
Tool.
The node is unable to participate as a cluster member. The most basic
cluster software is not running on the node.
Description
The service resources are configured and available on the cluster system
that owns the service.
The service has failed on a member and is pending start on another
member.
The service has been disabled, and does not have an assigned owner. A
disabled service is never restarted automatically by the cluster.
The service is not running; it is waiting for a member capable of starting
the service. A service remains in the stopped state if autostart is disabled.
The service has failed to start on the cluster and cannot successfully stop
the service. A failed service is never restarted automatically by the cluster.
