HP StorageWorks P9000 Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide (TB534-96009, February 2011)

The APPLICATION object requires the name of the application service as its value. The objects
specified after an APPLICATION tag must appear only once per application. As with the COMMON
objects, the APPLICATION objects have predefined default values.
P9000 Cluster Extension uses the following rules to define objects:
• If you use the default value, you do not have to specify the object.
• P9000 Cluster Extension uses objects depending on the setting of other objects. For example,
if you set the FenceLevel object to DATA, P9000 Cluster Extension uses the values specified
for the DataLoseMirror or DataLoseDataCenter object. However, these objects are ignored if
the FenceLevel object is set to NEVER.
• The pre-execution and post-execution functions in P9000 Cluster Extension are not processed
if the associated object values are empty. (This is the default setting.)
When setting APPLICATION object values:
• Use the VCS GUI for VCS.
• Use a user configuration file for the CLI and HACMP.
• Use the Microsoft Cluster Administrator GUI (Windows Server 2003) or the Failover Cluster
Management GUI (Windows Server 2008/2008 R2) for MSCS.
• Use a P9000 Cluster Extension configuration file for RHCS and SLE HA.
