Redundancy groups

Bruce - Yes you can create systemreduncancygroup. BUT the only way that it can be done is from the command line. I will have to dig out the command line that I used to create a systemreduncancygroup item that contained 2 of my hosts. This cannot be done from the GUI at all and should be able to be done.

From the book...


Creation of system redundancy groups
Redundancy groups for network adapters, network connections, and systems must be manually created using the dmctl utility or an Adapter Scripting Language (ASL) script.

To create a redundancy group for one of these types of objects:
1. Create an instance of one of the redundancy group classes.
2. Insert the objects that participate in the redundancy group into the ComposedOf
relationship of the redundancy group.
The following example uses the dmctl utility to create an instance of a system
redundancy group and inserts two members into the group.

% BASEDIR/smarts/bin/dmctl -s INCHARGE-AM-PM
Server INCHARGE-AM-PM User: admin
admin's Password: XXXXXXXX
Domain Manager Control Program (V7.0.0.0) -- Type 'help' for a list of
commands.
Attached to 'INCHARGE-AM-PM'
dmctl> create SystemRedundancyGroup::RouterRedundancyGroup
dmctl> insert SystemRedundancyGroup::RouterRedundancyGroup::
ComposedOf Router::router1.smarts.com
dmctl> insert SystemRedundancyGroup::RouterRedundancyGroup::
ComposedOf Router::router2.smarts.com

Network adapter, network connection, and system redundancy groups can be
viewed through the Domain Manager Administration Console or the Topology
Browser view of the Global Console.

You can use the Host version of this and it will work. I have done just that.

Bruce - The commands that I used are as follows:


-bash-2.05b# ./dmctl -s IC-AI
Domain Manager Control Program (V6.5 SP3) -- Type 'help' for a list of commands.
Attached to 'IC-AI'
dmctl> create SystemRedundancyGroup::Decare_Cluster
dmctl> insert SystemRedundancyGroup::SYS-RG-Decare_Cluster::ComposedOf Host::jupiter.decare.com
dmctl> insert SystemRedundancyGroup::SYS-RG-Decare_Cluster::ComposedOf Host::mars.decare.com

These created an Instance of Decare_Cluster which is composted of 2 systems.
