3- Cluster

A cluster is a group made of multiple resource groups such as failover or parallel groups.
A cluster is at the top of MCCS configuration and contains all the groups. MCCS's basic configurations are managed.

Two Node Clsuter

Support Failover Group

A failover group is a group that contains the resource that can be run at a single node at a time.
A failover group switches to the standby mode when the main resource is failed. The resource in this group only operates at the operating nodes.
For instance, a virtual IP address cannot be used at the operating node and the standby node at the same time. In addition, if a virtual IP address causes troubles, it will switch service to the standby node.

Support Parallel Group

A parallel group is a group composed of the resources that can be run at more than one node at the same time.
A parallel group does not failover.In general, the resource containing applications made of cluster is online at the operating node and offline at the standby node. However, if you use a parallel group, you can start, monitor or terminate the designated application at the both nodes.
For instance, if the both nodes operate the backup software and you register it as the resource managed in a cluster, you can run the backup software at the both nodes at the same time. (But, the application should be run at multiple nodes in parallel.)

Support Single Node Group

A single node group is a group of resources that can be run at a single node.
A single node group does not failover. When the included resource experiences troubles, a single node group will try to be online as many times as designated.

 

Single Node Cluster

A single node cluster is a cluster of resources that can be run at a single node. A single node cluster does not failover.
A single node cluster only supports a single node group.


 

Cluster Attribute

Cluster attributes can be checked in the cluster attribute view.
In the group management view of the MCCS web console, select a cluster and press the 'Cluster Attribute value' tab on the right to view the detailed information.
The grey values are for reading only. These values represent the group status.
The white colored values are defined by a user and they can be modified.
The below table explains some attributes.

Cluster Attribute

 Attribute Description

Type

 Defaults EditNote

ClusterName

It is the name of the cluster. 
It is defined during the first time configuring the heartbeat.

NAME

 

X

 

GroupLimit

It is a maximum number of groups that can be added.

INTEGER

32ea

X

 

HBInterval

It is an interval for checking whether to receive heartbeat data, Heartbeat data is transferred at an interval 1/10 of this time.

INTEGER

2000ms

O

 

HBPort

It indicated the heartbeat server port.

PORT

14321

X

 

HBTimeout

It is ICMP test timeout for heartbeat network. If heartbeat data is disconnected, Timeout will take place, and the ICMP test will be conducted.

INTEGER

3sec

O

 

IsolationTestTmeout

It sets up the ICMP test timeout during the node isolation (SPLIT) test. For the test IP address, please refer to 'Isolation TestAddress' from Node Attribute of this chapter.

INTEGER

3sec

O

 

LogBackupCount

It indicates the limit of backuped log file count.

INTEGER

3ea

O

 

LogFileSize

It is the size of the log file. Minimum size is 64KB. while the maximum size is 10,000MB. If the size of the log file is greater than this, it will be backed up to mccs.log.1

INTEGER

1000Kb

O

 

LogLevel

It is the standard level of the log recorded in the log file. The log levels include DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR and FATAL, and only those logs above this level will be recorded in the file.

LOG LEVEL

Info

O

 

NodeFaultDetectionTime

It is the time for detecting node failures. 
If the time from initial hearbeat disconnection to the disconnection of all heartbeats exceeds this time, it will be regarded as SPLIT, and if smaller, it will be considered a node failure.

INTEGER

30sec

O

 
PingRetryTime

Time to determine ping test failure.
If the heartbeat data disconnects, it will try to ping during this time. If ping does not work after the time is exceed, it is determine as failure.

INTEGER0secO 

ResourceLimit

It is a maximum number of resources that can be added.

INTEGER

500ea

X

 

RMIConnectionTimeout

It is RMI connection timeout.

INTEGER

2sec

O

 
SingleNodeClusterIt is a cluster consist of a node.BOOLEANfalseX 

SysLogLevel

It indicated the log level to be recorded in the Windows system log. Only those logs above this level will be recorded in the system log.

LOG LEVEL

Error

O

 



CLI Use (mccluster command)

Used to modify the attribute values of an MCCS cluster. Using this CLI, a user can modify the desired attributes values.

When you install MCCS, the initial user account ID is set to 'admin' and the password is set to 'password'.
When you run the CLI command, you need to enter the ID and the password. Otherwise, the above initial ID and password will be used.
Thus, when you change the initial user password, you must enter the ID/password in the CLI command as options.


Syntax

mccluster [-u userid -pw password] [-c clusterName] [-a attribute] attribute_value


Options

 

OptionDescription

-h

Display Help.

-uDesignate the user ID.
-pwEnter the user password with the -u option.

-c

Designate a cluster to be accessed to run the command.

-a

Designate the attribute name to be modified.


Example

modify

Modify the cluster attributes of testCluster.

mccluster -u admin -pw password -modify -c testCluster -a attribute attribute_value 

list

Display the cluster condition.

mccluster -u admin -pw password -list
