Automatically prevent a failover operation in a CRG
The QCST_CRG_CANCEL_FAILOVER policy can prevent automatic failovers from taking place.
Each QCST_CRG_CANCEL_FAILOVER policy is uniquely defined by the cluster resource group name specified in the domain name field, and the failover scope specified in the SCOPE keyword in the policy qualifier field. An EVENT value for the policy value field specifies which events that should not cause an automatic failover.
To add a QCST_CRG_CANCEL_FAILOVER policy to a cluster resource group (CRG) supply:
The name of the CRG.
The policy qualifier value for the SCOPE policy qualifier. These values are:
Scope | Description |
|---|---|
*SITE | Indicates that the policy will apply only to failovers where the new primary node is in the same site as the original primary node. |
*CRSSITE | Indicates that the policy will apply only to failovers where the new primary node is in a different site than the current primary node. |
*CRG | The policy applies to all failovers regardless of where the current and new primary nodes are located. |
The policy value field requires a value for the Event. The Event contains a list of event types the QCST_CRG_CANCEL_FAILOVER should cancel. At least one value needs to be specified. Values for EVENT are:
Event | Description |
|---|---|
*CLUFAIL | The failover was caused by one of the following cluster events:
|
*CRGFAIL | The failover was caused by one of the following cluster events:
|
*ENDCLUNOD | The failover was caused by the ENDCLUNOD command. |
*ENDSYS | The failover was caused by an ENDSYS or an ENDSBS(*ALL) action on the primary cluster node. |
*ENDTCP | The failover was caused by invoking the ENDTCP command on the primary cluster node. |
*PWRDWNSYS | The failover was caused by the PWRDWNSYS command. |
*ALL | All actions listed in the above values that cause failovers. |
Example 1 - Disabling automatic failovers for specific events
For example, a QCST_CRG_CANCEL_FAILOVER policy set for a CRG named MYCRG created:
| Code Block |
|---|
ADDHAPCY PCY(QCST_CRG_CANCEL_FAILOVER) PCYDMN(MYCRG) QUAL('SCOPE(*CRG)')
VALUE('EVENT(*ENDCLUNOD *ENDSYS *ENDTCP *PWRDWNSYS)') |
Indicates that if an ENDCLUNOD, ENDSYS, ENDTCP, or PWRDWNSYS event occurs a failover will not be attempted for the CRG MYCRG.
