HP XP Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide

2. The pair/resync monitor monitors the disk pair status if the ResyncMonitor attribute is set to
YES, and resynchronizes disk pairs if the ResyncMonitorAutoRecover attribute is set to YES.
By default, the pair/resync monitor uses port 5307.
To change the pair/resync monitor port, enter CLXXPCONFIG PRM /PORT=value, where
value is the port number you want to use.
NOTE: To view the pair/resync monitor port, enter CLXXPCONFIG PRM.
3. Specify the RAID Manager instances that define the device/copy groups you want to manage
with HP XP Cluster Extension. For more information about HP XP Cluster Extension and RAID
Manager, see “Setting up RAID Manager” (page 11).
• To view the available instances, enter CLXXPCONFIG RM.
• To add a RAID Manager instance, enter CLXXPCONFIG RM /ADDVAL=value, where
value is the RAID Manager instance you want to add. For example:
Enter CLXXPCONFIG RM /ADDVAL=101 to add RAID Manager instance number 101.
• To remove a RAID Manager instance, enter CLXXPCONFIG RM /REMOVEVAL=value,
where value is the RAID Manager instance you want to remove. For example:
Enter CLXXPCONFIG RM /REMOVEVAL=101 to remove RAID Manager instance number
101.
NOTE: HP XP Cluster Extension provides a RAID Manager service, which automatically starts
RAID Manager instances at system boot time. This feature reduces resource group and service
or application failover times because the HP XP Cluster Extension resource does not need to
start the RAID Manager instances. Adding or removing RAID Manager instances will start or
restart the RAID Manager service.
4. For configurations with XP arrays and XP RAID Manager only, use the following command to
configure RAID Manager command device authentication:
CLXXPCONFIG CMD_DEV_CONFIG /DKC=DKCNumber Options
Where DKCNumber is the disk controller/array serial number, and the available options are:
• LOGIN /USER=User Name: The user name.
• /PASSWORD=Password: The password.
IMPORTANT: The configured RAID Manager instance associated with the selected DKC
number must be running when you use this command. For instructions on starting a RAID
Manager instance, see “Starting and stopping the RAID Manager instances” (page 12).
TIP: Enter the following command to view the configured arrays and users:
CLXXPCONFIG CMD_DEV_CONFIG
5. Specify the servers that are possible owners for the HP XP Cluster Extension-managed disks.
A server is a possible owner of a disk if it is capable of managing the disk when failover
occurs.
• To determine whether cluster nodes have been configured for HP XP Cluster Extension,
enter CLXXPCONFIG SERVER.
• To add a server, enter CLXXPCONFIG SERVER /ADD /NAME=servername, where
servername is the server to add.
• To remove a server, enter CLXXPCONFIG SERVER /REMOVE /NAME=servername,
where servername is the server to remove.
