Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1 for Oracle RAC Administrator"s Guide (5900-1512, April 2011)

Environment variables associated with the coordination point
server
Table 2-7 describes the environment variables that are required for the cpsadm
command. The cpsadm command detects these environment variables and uses
their value when communicating with the CP server. They are used to authenticate
and authorize the user.
Note: The environment variables are not required when the cpsadm command is
run on the CP server. The environment variables are required when the cpsadm
command is run on the SF Oracle RAC cluster nodes.
Table 2-7
cpsadm command environment variables
DescriptionEnvironment variable
This is the fully qualified username as configured in VxSS
(vssat showcred).
CPS_USERNAME
One of the following values:
■ vx
■ unixpwd
■ nis
■ nisplus
■ ldap
CPS_DOMAINTYPE
The environment variables must be exported directly on the shell before running
the cpsadm command. For example,
# export CPS_USERNAME=
# export CPS_DOMAINTYPE=
Additionally, the username and domaintype values are the same as those added
onto the CP server. To view these values run the following cpsadm command:
# cpsadm -s cp_server -a list_users
Where cp_server is the CP server's virtual IP address or virtual hostname.
