Introduction

A cluster administrative domain eases management of a high availability cluster by ensuring consistency of the resources it monitors. However, in .

Add monitored resource entries

You can add a monitored resource entry (MRE) to a cluster administrative domain. Monitored resource entries define critical resources so that changes made to these resources are kept consistent across a high-availability environment.

Using the command-line interface

To add a monitored resource to the administrative domain, complete the following steps:

  1. Type ADDCADMRE into the command line and press F4 to open the Add Admin Domain MRE (ADDCADMRE) display.

  2. Type the name of the monitored resource, and the resource type and press Enter.

  3. Select which attributes to monitor, and press Enter to add the resource to the administrative domain.

  4. The message Resource added to cluster administrative domain &1 is returned.

  5. Repeat this process for each monitored resource entry.

Add multiple resource entries at once

In some HA environments the number of resource entries required in the administrative domain continues to grow. Entering each individually or creating a process to automate individual entries is time-consuming. The Add Cluster Administrative Domain Monitored Resource Entries (ADDCADMRE) supports the addition of multiple resource entries with a single command using *ALL or wild cards in the Monitored resource field. This enhanced support can be used with the following resource types:

Object Type

Description

*USRPRF

User profiles

*AUTL

Authorization lists

*CLS

Classes

*JOBD

Job descriptions

*SBSD

Subsystem descriptions

Note: The resource types that support libraries also support wild cards and *ALL on the library parameter.

This function reduces the time and effort it takes to add (or omit) large amounts of monitored resources into the cluster administrative domain.

Adding multiple MREs to the cluster administrative domain

This example demonstrates how to use the the multiple addition support to add a large amount of user profiles to the administrative domain with one command.

Large HA environments often have a large number of users and each user or automated account has a user profile. In this organization, a user needs to add all user profiles the start with U to the administrative domain.

Using the command-line interface

To add these user profiles to the administrative domain, complete the following steps:

  1. Type ADDCADMRE into the command line and press F4 to open the Add Admin Domain MRE (ADDCADMRE) display.

  2. Type in the cluster name and the name of the cluster administrative domain in the respective fields.

  3. To select all the user profiles beginning with U, use a wild card and type U* in the Monitored resource filed, followed by *USRPRF in the Monitored resource type field.

Note

Important: In the case of the user profiles here, if any of the selected profiles have a group profile that they depend on that is not already in the administrative domain, that group profile will be automatically added to the top of the list. These group profiles show

The user profiles beginning with U that were displayed on the confirmation panel are added to the cluster administrative domain along with any groups the profiles depend on.

Considerations

The list of resources generated by *ALL or a wild card that appears on the Confirm Add of Resources display will not contain resources that currently are in the administrative domain
