cl_rc.cluster command

Purpose

Sets up the operating system environment and starts the cluster daemons across cluster nodes.

Syntax

cl_rc.cluster [-cspoc "[-f] [-g ResourceGroup | -nNodeList ]"] [-boot]
[b] [-i | I] [-N | -R | -B] [-M | -A] [-x] [-r] [-v] [-C interactive|yes]
Note: Arguments associated with a particular flag must be specified immediately following the flag.

Flags

-cspoc
Argument used to specify the following C-SPOC option:

-f - Forces cl_rc.cluster to skip PowerHA® SystemMirror® version compatibility checks and node accessibility verification.

-g ResourceGroup - Specifies the name of the resource group whose participating nodes share the volume group. The command executes on these nodes.

-n Nodelist - Executes underlying AIX® commands across nodes in the nodelist.

-boot
Configures the service network interface to be on its boot address if IPAT is enabled.
-i
Starts the Cluster Information ( clinfoES ) daemon with its default options.
-I
Starts the Cluster Information ( clinfoES ) daemon with traps enabled.
-b
Broadcasts the startup.
-N
Starts the daemons immediately (no inittab change).
-R
Starts the PowerHA SystemMirror daemons on system restart only (the PowerHA SystemMirror startup command is added to inittab file).
-B
Starts the daemons immediately and adds the PowerHA SystemMirror entry to the inittab file.
-C
Specifies the mode to use for corrective action when a problem occurs. Specify yes to automatically correct problems. Specify interactive to be prompted before each corrective action is run.
-M
Starts the cluster services with Manual resource acquisition mode. Use this option if you want to bring the resource groups online manually.
-A
Starts the cluster services with Automatic resource acquisition mode. Use this option if you want to bring resource groups online automatically on cluster startup. This is the default option.
-f
Forced startup. Cluster daemons should initialize running local procedures.
-r
Reacquires cluster resources after a forced down. Use this option if you changed the state of any cluster resources (ip labels, disks, applications) while the cluster was forced down.
-v
Ignore verification errors during startup (auto ver sync)
-x
Activates NFS cross-mounts.

Examples

  1. To start the cluster with clinfo running on all the cluster nodes, run the following command:
    cl_rc.cluster -boot -i
  2. To start the cluster with clinfo running on all the cluster nodes with traps enabled, run the following command:
    cl_rc.cluster -boot -I
