How to add samba within cluster file when failover a package

[Mahesh Alexander]

Hi all,

I've been told to add the samba service inside a package. I know that inside the configuration cluster I can put LVs that I want the package to mount when running it or failover it to another node, but, where can I tell the cluster file to run samba as well or whatever service or script?

Thanks for your support, as always.

I have found this inside the cluster file, Is this where I need to modify in order to achieve my goal? Please advise. Thx!

-------------------------------------

# SERVICE NAMES AND COMMANDS.
# Specify the service name, command, and restart parameters which are
# used by this package. Uncomment SERVICE_NAME[0]="", SERVICE_CMD[0]="",
# SERVICE_RESTART[0]="" and fill in the name of the first service, command,
# and restart parameters. You must begin with SERVICE_NAME[0], SERVICE_CMD[0],
# and SERVICE_RESTART[0] and increment the list in sequence.
#
# For example:
# SERVICE_NAME[0]=pkg1a
# SERVICE_CMD[0]="/usr/bin/X11/xclock -display 192.10.25.54:0"
# SERVICE_RESTART[0]="" # Will not restart the service.
#
# SERVICE_NAME[1]=pkg1b
# SERVICE_CMD[1]="/usr/bin/X11/xload -display 192.10.25.54:0"
# SERVICE_RESTART[1]="-r 2" # Will restart the service twice.
#
# SERVICE_NAME[2]=pkg1c
# SERVICE_CMD[2]="/usr/sbin/ping"
# SERVICE_RESTART[2]="-R" # Will restart the service an infinite
# number of times.
#
# Note: No environmental variables will be passed to the command, this
# includes the PATH variable. Absolute path names are required for the
# service command definition. Default shell is /usr/bin/sh.
#
#SERVICE_NAME[0]=""
#SERVICE_CMD[0]=""
#SERVICE_RESTART[0]=""

Here's a 'thought'

I'm going to assume the HPUX box is the host.
So it is 'sharing' up an HPUX f/s that is part of the package.

Not sure if you have multiple SAMBA things runnings. You could create a master smb.conf and copy it on the other node(s) in your cluster.
Then within your cluster control scripts, run to start SAMBA in your customer defined start scripts section. And run to stop SAMBA in your customer defined stop scripts sections.

Just a thought,
Rita

What I have done so far is configured cluster file on both nodes with the following:

#SERVICE_NAME[0]=samba
#SERVICE_CMD[0]="/sbin/init.d/samba"
#SERVICE_RESTART[0]="-r 1"

I guess this will work alright, isn't it?

CORRECTION: ups! without comments duh!

SERVICE_NAME[0]=samba
SERVICE_CMD[0]="/sbin/init.d/samba"
SERVICE_RESTART[0]="-r 1"

Hi Mahesh,

Chapter 12 of the CIFS Admin guide http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02020671/c02020671.pdf points you to the /opt/samba/HA/README file and examples in the /opt/samba/HA directory.

Hope that helps,
Brian
