Creating and configuring the Infrastructure Management resource type

Use the agent builder utility to create the resource type for the Infrastructure Management product. This utility is a part of the Sun Cluster installation.

To create the resource type on Solaris computers

Perform the following procedure on each node in the cluster:

1. Start the agent builder utility by entering the following command:
   /usr/cluster/bin/scdsbuilder

2. In the agent builder window, provide information for the following items:
3. Click Create.
4. Click Next.

5. In the Configure window, provide information for the following items:
6. Click Configure.

The agent builder generates a resource type (data service) that includes source and executable code (Korn shell), a customized Resource Type Registration (RTR) file, and a Solaris package for the Infrastructure Management product.

The Solaris package contains the RTR file in the /etc directory. The file is named based on the values that you entered for Vendor Name and Application Name in the agent builder window. For example, if the Vendor Name is SUNW and the Application Name is pnbmc, then the name of the RTR file will be SUNW.pnbmc. Open the RTR file and ensure that the RT_BASEDIR parameter is set to the path of the /bin directory. For example, if the path to the /bin directory is /opt/SUNWpnbmc/bin, then the value for the RT_BASEDIR parameter must be /opt/SUNWpnbmc/bin.

The Solaris package also contains start, stop, and probe scripts for the Infrastructure Management application resource type in the /bin directory. Provide execute permissions for all the generated scripts in the /bin directory.

To configure a resource type

Perform the following procedure on the primary node of the cluster.

1. Ensure that the Infrastructure Management application RTR file exists in the /opt/cluster/lib/rgm/rtreg directory or the /usr/cluster/lib/rgm/rtreg directory.
   
   If it does not exist in one of these two directories, copy the RTR file that is in the /workingDirectory/resourceType/etc directory to either the /opt/cluster/lib/rgm/rtreg directory or the /usr/cluster/lib/rgm/rtreg directory. For example, if you created a resource type named SUNW.pnbmc by using the agent builder, then the name of the RTR file is SUNW.pnbmc. Copy that file from the /opt/SUNWpnbmc/etc/ directory to the /opt/cluster/lib/rgm/rtreg directory or the /usr/cluster/lib/rgm/rtreg directory.
2. Register a resource type by entering the following commands:
   clresourcetype register resourceType
   clresourcetype show resourceType
   
   For example:
   clresourcetype register SUNW.pnbmc
   clresourcetype show SUNW.pnbmc
   
   The following output is displayed:
   === Registered Resource Types ===
   Resource Type: SUNW.pnbmc:1.0
   RT_description: pnbmc server for Sun Cluster
   RT_version: 1.0
   API_version: 2
   RT_basedir: /opt/SUNW.pnbmc/bin
   Single_instance: False
   Proxy: False
   Init_nodes: All potential masters
   Installed_nodes: <All>
   Failover: False
   Pkglist: SUNW.pnbmc
   RT_system: False
   
   The resourceType variable is the resource type created using the agent builder as described in the procedure 70166.
