The following table describes the questions asked by the cluster configuration command procedures and describes how you might answer them. The table is supplied here so that you can determine answers to the questions before you invoke the procedure.
Because many of the questions are configuration specific, Table 8-3 lists the questions according to configuration type, and not in the order they are asked.
| Information Required | How to Specify or Obtain |
|---|---|
| For all configurations | |
| Device name of cluster system disk on which root directories will be created | Press Return to accept the default device name which is the translation of the SYS$SYSDEVICE: logical name, or specify a logical name that points to the common system disk. |
| Computer's root directory name on cluster system disk |
Press Return to accept the procedure-supplied default, or specify a
name in the form SYS
x:
|
| Workstation windowing system | System manager specifies. Workstation software must be installed before workstation satellites are added. If it is not, the procedure indicates that fact. |
| Location and sizes of page and swap files |
This information is requested only when you add a computer to the
cluster. Press Return to accept the default size and location. (The
default sizes displayed in brackets by the procedure are minimum
values. The default location is the device name of the cluster system
disk.)
If your configuration includes satellite nodes, you may realize a performance improvement by locating satellite page and swap files on a satellite's local disk, if such a disk is available. The potential for performance improvement depends on the configuration of your OpenVMS Cluster system disk and network. To set up page and swap files on a satellite's local disk, the cluster configuration procedure creates a command procedure called SATELLITE_PAGE.COM in the satellite's [SYS n.SYSEXE] directory on the boot server's system disk. The SATELLITE_PAGE.COM procedure performs the following functions:
Note: For page and swap disks that are shadowed, you must edit the MOUNT and INIT commands in SATELLITE_PAGE.COM to the appropriate syntax for mounting any specialized "local" disks (that is, host-based shadowing disks (DS xxx), or host-based RAID disks (DP xxxx), or DECram disks (MDA xxxx)) on the newly added node. CLUSTER_CONFIG(_LAN).COM does not create the MOUNT and INIT commands required for SHADOW, RAID, or DECram disks. Note: To relocate the satellite's page and swap files (for example, from the satellite's local disk to the boot server's system disk, or the reverse) or to change file sizes:
|
| Value for local computer's allocation class (ALLOCLASS or TAPE_ALLOCLASS) parameter. | The ALLOCLASS parameter can be used for a node allocation class or, on Alpha computers, a port allocation class. Refer to Section 6.2.1 for complete information about specifying allocation classes. |
| Physical device name of quorum disk | System manager specifies. |
| For systems running DECnet for OpenVMS | |
| Computer's DECnet node address for Phase IV |
For the DECnet node address, you obtain this information as follows:
|
| Computer's DECnet node name | Network manager supplies. The name must be from 1 to 6 alphanumeric characters and cannot include dollar signs ($) or underscores (_). |
| For systems running DECnet--Plus | |
| Computer's DECnet node address for Phase IV (if you need Phase IV compatibility) |
For the DECnet node address, you obtain this information as follows:
|
| Node's DECnet full name |
Determine the full name with the help of your network manager. Enter a
string comprised of:
|
| SCS node name for this node | Enter the OpenVMS Cluster node name, which is a string of 6 or fewer alphanumeric characters. |
| DECnet synonym | Press Return to define a DECnet synonym, which is a short name for the node's full name. Otherwise, enter N. |
| Synonym name for this node |
Enter a string of 6 or fewer alphanumeric characters. By default, it is
the first 6 characters of the last simple name in the full name. For
example:
Synonym: BLACKH Note: The node synonym does not need to be the same as the OpenVMS Cluster node name. |
| MOP service client name for this node | Enter the name for the node's MOP service client when the node is configured as a boot server. By default, it is the OpenVMS Cluster node name (for example, the SCS node name). This name does not need to be the same as the OpenVMS Cluster node name. |
| For systems running TCP/IP or the LANCP Utility for satellite booting, or both | |
| Computer's SCS node name (SCSNODE) and SCS system ID (SCSSYSTEMID) | These prompts are described in Section 4.2.3. If a system is running TCP/IP, the procedure does not ask for a TCP/IP host name because a cluster node name (SCSNODE) does not have to match a TCP/IP host name. The TCP/IP host name might be longer than six characters, whereas the SCSNODE name must be no more than six characters. Note that if the system is running both DECnet and IP, then the procedure uses the DECnet defaults. |
| For LAN configurations | |
| Cluster group number and password | This information is requested only when the CHANGE option is chosen. See Section 2.5 for information about assigning cluster group numbers and passwords. |
| Satellite's LAN hardware address |
Address has the form
xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx. You must include the hyphens when you
specify a hardware address. For getting the hardware address, execute
the following command at the satellite's console:
On Integrity servers:
On Alpha systems:
These commands display the hardware address of the LAN devices that can be used for satellite booting. Note that you can also use the SHOW CONFIG command at LANCP. |
| For IP configurations | |
| UDP port number | UDP port number is the port number used for cluster communication. UDP port number must be same on all members of the cluster. Also, ensure that there is no other cluster in your environment using the same UDP port number or this port number is used by any other application. |
| IP multicast address |
Enter the IP multicast address for cluster, if IP multicasting is
enabled. By default, the IP multicast address is selected from the
administratively scoped IP multicast address range of 239.242.x.y. The
last two octets x and y are generated based on the cluster group
number. For example, if the cluster group number is 1985, the multicast
is calculated as follows:
X= 1985/256 The system administrator can override the default multicast address with a unique address for their environment. |
| IP unicast address | If the node that is configured uses IP unicast to discover a remote note, you need the IP unicast address of the existing members or any new member in the cluster. |
| IP address | It is the IP address of the local system from where the cluster is configured. |
| Gateway and Network mask address | In the configuration option, select option 4 to add the TCP/IP gateway and network mask address to the cluster over IP database. |
| IP interface address |
In the configuration option for the selected address, select option 4
to add to the cluster over IP database. The interface information along
with the default route is entered in the TCPIP$CLUSTER.DAT as shown in
the following example:
interface=IE0,EIA0,10.0.1.2,255.255.255.0 default_route=10.0.1.1 |
| IP interface address for satellite booting |
To select the IP interface to be used for satellite booting.
For Alpha systems:

8.1.3 Invoking the Procedure
Once you have made the necessary preparations, you can invoke the
cluster configuration procedure to configure your OpenVMS Cluster
system. Log in to the system manager account and make sure your default
is SYS$MANAGER. Then, invoke the procedure at the DCL command prompt as
follows:
$ @CLUSTER_CONFIG_LAN |
or
$ @CLUSTER_CONFIG |
Caution: Do not invoke multiple sessions simultaneously. You can run only one cluster configuration session at a time.
Once invoked, both procedures display the following information and menu. (The only difference between CLUSTER_CONFIG_LAN.COM and CLUSTER_CONFIG.COM at this point is the command procedure name that is displayed.) Depending on the menu option you select, the procedure interactively requests configuration information from you. (Predetermine your answers as described in Table 8-3.)
Cluster/IPCI Configuration Procedure

This chapter contains a number of sample sessions showing how to run
the cluster configuration procedures. Although the
CLUSTER_CONFIG_LAN.COM and the CLUSTER_CONFIG.COM procedure function
the same for Integrity server systems and Alpha systems, the questions
and format may appear slightly different according to the type of
computer system.
8.2 Adding Computers
In most cases, you invoke either CLUSTER_CONFIG_LAN.COM or CLUSTER_CONFIG.COM on an active OpenVMS Cluster computer and select the ADD function to enable a computer as an OpenVMS Cluster member. However, in some circumstances, you may need to perform extra steps to add computers. Use the information in Table 8-4 to determine your actions.
| IF... | THEN... |
|---|---|
| You are adding your first satellite node to the OpenVMS Cluster. |
Follow these steps:
|
| The cluster uses DECdtm services. | You must create a transaction log for the computer when you have configured it into your cluster. For step-by-step instructions on how to do this, see the chapter on DECdtm services in the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual. |
| You add a CI connected computer that boots from a cluster common system disk. | You must create a new default bootstrap command procedure for the computer before booting it into the cluster. For instructions, refer to your computer-specific installation and operations guide. |
| You are adding computers to a cluster with more than one common system disk. |
You must use a different device name for each system disk on which
computers are added. For this reason, the cluster configuration
procedure supplies as a default device name the logical volume name
(for example, DISK$MARS_SYS1) of SYS$SYSDEVICE: on the local system.
Using different device names ensures that each computer added has a unique root directory specification, even if the system disks contain roots with the same name---for example, DISK$MARS_SYS1:[SYS10] and DISK$MARS_SYS2:[SYS10]. |
| You add a voting member to the cluster. | You must, after the ADD function completes, reconfigure the cluster according to the instructions in Section 8.6. |
Caution: If either the local or the new computer fails
before the ADD function completes, you must, after normal conditions
are restored, perform the REMOVE option to erase any invalid data and
then restart the ADD option. Section 8.3 describes the REMOVE option.
8.2.1 Controlling Conversational Bootstrap Operations
When you add a satellite to the cluster using either cluster configuration command procedure, the procedure asks whether you want to allow conversational bootstrap operations for the satellite (default is No).
If you select the default, the NISCS_CONV_BOOT system parameter in the satellite's system parameter file remains set to 0 to disable such operations. The parameter file (IA64VMSSYS.PAR for Integrity servers or ALPHAVMSSYS.PAR for Alpha systems) resides in the satellite's root directory on a boot server's system disk (device:[SYSx.SYSEXE]). You can enable conversational bootstrap operations for a given satellite at any time by setting this parameter to 1.
Example:
To enable such operations for an OpenVMS Alpha satellite booted from root 10 on device $1$DGA11, you would proceed as follows:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Log in as system manager on the boot server. |
| 2 |
On Integrity servers or Alpha systems, invoke the System Generation
utility (SYSGEN) and enter the following commands:
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSGEN |
| 3 | Modify the satellite's MODPARAMS.DAT file so that NISCS_CONV_BOOT is set to 1. |
When adding a node or a satellite to an OpenVMS Cluster, the cluster configuration command procedure adds one of the following lines in the MODPARAMS.DAT file:
| WHEN the node being added is a... | THEN... |
|---|---|
| Satellite node |
The following line is added to the MODPARAMS.DAT file:
AGEN$INCLUDE_PARAMS SYS$MANAGER:AGEN$NEW_SATELLITE_DEFAULTS.DAT |
| Nonsatellite node |
The following line is added to the MODPARAMS.DAT file:
AGEN$INCLUDE_PARAMS SYS$MANAGER:AGEN$NEW_NODE_DEFAULTS.DAT |
The AGEN$NEW_SATELLITE_DEFAULTS.DAT and AGEN$NEW_NODE_DEFAULTS.DAT files hold AUTOGEN parameter settings that are common to all satellite nodes or nonsatellite nodes in the cluster. Use of these files simplifies system management, because you can maintain common system parameters in either one or both of these files. When adding or changing the common parameters, this eliminates the need to make modifications in the MODPARAMS.DAT files located on every node in the cluster.
Initially, these files contain no parameter settings. You edit the AGEN$NEW_SATELLITE_DEFAULTS.DAT and AGEN$NEW_NODE_DEFAULTS.DAT files, as appropriate, to add, modify, or edit system parameters. For example, you might edit the AGEN$NEW_SATELLITE_DEFAULTS.DAT file to set the MIN_GBLPAGECNT parameter to 5000. AUTOGEN makes the MIN_GBLPAGECNT parameter and all other parameter settings in the AGEN$NEW_SATELLITE_DEFAULTS.DAT file common to all satellite nodes in the cluster.
AUTOGEN uses the parameter settings in the
AGEN$NEW_SATELLITE_DEFAULTS.DAT or AGEN$NEW_NODE_DEFAULTS.DAT files the
first time it is run, and with every subsequent execution.
8.2.3 Examples
Examples 8-1, 8-2, and 8-3 describes the use of CLUSTER_CONFIG_LAN.COM on BHAGAT to add, respectively, a boot server running DECnet for OpenVMS, a boot server running DECnet--Plus, and a satellite node.
This section also illustrates the use of CLUSTER_CONFIG_LAN.COM to create and configure a two node disaster tolerant (DT) cluster using IPCI, to add a new node to an IPCI cluster, to add a new node to an IPCI cluster with a Shared System Disk, and to add an Integrity server satellite node to an IPCI cluster.

Would you like GOMTHI added as a TCP/IP host shortcut for 16.181.160.129 [Y]? [Return]
What is GOMTHI's TCP/IP gateway or gateways (leave blank if none)? 16.181.160.1
What is GOMTHI's TCP/IP network mask [255.255.255.0]? 255.255.252.0
NOTE: Make sure to set the VMS_FLAGS console variable
to 0,200000 on node GOMTHI so it will use
the memory-disk method to boot as a satellite.
The command to update this variable from the
console EFI shell of GOMTHI is:
set vms_flags "0,200000"
Allow conversational bootstraps on GOMTHI [N]? [Return]
The following workstation windowing options are available:
1. No workstation software
2. DECwindows Workstation Software
Enter choice [1]: [Return]

Size of pagefile for GOMTHI [RETURN for AUTOGEN sizing]? [Return]
A temporary pagefile will be created until resizing by AUTOGEN. The
default size below is arbitrary and may or may not be appropriate.
Size of temporary pagefile [10000]? [Return]
Size of swap file for GOMTHI [RETURN for AUTOGEN sizing]? [Return]
A temporary swap file will be created until resizing by AUTOGEN. The
default size below is arbitrary and may or may not be appropriate.
Size of temporary swap file [8000]? [Return]
NOTE: IA64 satellite node GOMTHI requires DOSD if capturing the
system state in a dumpfile is desired after a system crash.
Will a local disk on GOMTHI be used for paging and swapping (Y/N)? Y
This procedure will now wait until GOMTHI is a member of
the cluster. Once GOMTHI joins the cluster, this procedure
will ask you which local disk it can use for paging and swapping.
Please boot GOMTHI now. Make sure the default boot device is
set to the appropriate clustered-disk access path: LAN device for
satellite nodes; or shared-bus (CI/DSSI/SCSI/FC) disk device. See
the hardware user manual or the console help command for instructions
to do this.

Node GOMTHI is now a cluster member. This procedure will pause
for up to 4 minutes, while attempting to detect local disks on
GOMTHI, to use for paging and swapping.
The local disks on GOMTHI are:
Device Device Error Volume Free Trans Mnt
Name Status Count Label Blocks Count Cnt
GOMTHI$DQA0: Online 0
GOMTHI$DKA0: Online 0
GOMTHI$DKA100: Online 0
GOMTHI$DKB200: Online 0
If the paging and swapping disk you plan to use is not displayed,
it may not yet be configured. Please wait a few moments and hit
a carriage return for an updated display.
Which disk can be used for paging and swapping? GOMTHI$DKA100:
May this procedure INITIALIZE GOMTHI$DKA100 [Y]? N
In order to ensure that this disk has a unique volume name this
procedure wishes to change its name from [GOMTHI_831H1] to
[GOMTHI_25771]. If the satellite being added may also be booted
standalone and refers to this disk by name you may retain the old volume
name if there are no other disks with the same name in this cluster.
May the volume name of this disk be changed to GOMTHI_25771 [Y]? N
