If you answered YES to the question about joining
an OpenVMS Cluster, the system now asks a series of questions about
your configuration (such as CI, DSSI, SCSI, local area, or mixed interconnect).
If you answered NO to this question, the system immediately runs
AUTOGEN, as described in Section . If you answered NO, you can still set
up or join an OpenVMS Cluster after the installation is completed
by manually running the cluster configuration utility.
You can do this by entering the
following command:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:CLUSTER_CONFIG_LAN |
For more information about cluster configuration, see the HP OpenVMS Cluster Systems manual or the Guidelines for OpenVMS Cluster Configurations manual.
Table 3-2 lists the OpenVMS Cluster prompts and suggested responses. These
prompts appear if you answered YES to the question about joining an
OpenVMS Cluster or if you manually run SYS$MANAGER:CLUSTER_CONFIG_LAN.COM. Note that, depending
on your responses and the particular cluster configuration, some prompts
are not displayed.
Table 3-2 Prompts for OpenVMS Cluster Configurations
| Question | How to Respond |
|---|
Will this node be a cluster member (Y/N)? | Enter Y. |
What is the node's DECnet node name? | Enter the DECnet
node name (for example, MYNODE). The DECnet node name can be from
one to six alphanumeric characters in length and cannot include dollar
signs ($) or underscores (_). This is the name you specified in step 12 of the installation procedure. |
What is the node's DECnet node address? | Enter the DECnet node
address; for example, 2.2. This is the address you specified in step 13 of the installation procedure. |
Enter this cluster's group number:[1] | Enter a number in the range of 1 to 4095 or 61440 to 65535. |
Enter this cluster's password:[1] | Enter
the cluster password. The password must be from 1 to 31 alphanumeric
characters in length and can include dollar signs ($) and underscores
(_). |
Reenter this cluster's password for verification: | Reenter the password. |
Will MYNODE be a disk server (Y/N)? | Enter Y if you want local disks to
be served to the cluster (mandatory for local area and mixed-interconnect
configurations). See the HP OpenVMS Cluster Systems manual for information about served cluster disks. |
Enter a value for MYNODE’s
ALLOCLASS parameter. | In an
OpenVMS Cluster environment, the allocation class value cannot be
zero if volume shadowing will be
used on this system. The ALLOCLASS value must be a number
from 1 to 255. HP recommends that you thoroughly review
the chapter on cluster storage devices in the HP OpenVMS Cluster Systems manual. This manual also includes the rules for specifying allocation
class values. |
Does this cluster contain a quorum disk (Y/N)? | For SCSI, local area, and mixed-interconnect configurations,
enter Y or N, depending on your configuration. If you enter
Y, the system asks for the name of the quorum disk. Enter the device
name of the quorum disk. For information about quorum disks, see
the HP OpenVMS Cluster Systems manual. |
