Registering a Resource Type

A resource type provides specification of common properties and callback methods that apply to all of the resources of the given type. You must register a resource type before you create a resource of that type. For details about resource types, see Chapter 1, Planning for Sun Cluster Data Services.

How to Register a Resource Type

Perform this procedure from any cluster node.

Before You Begin

Ensure that you have the name for the resource type that you plan to register. The resource type name is an abbreviation for the data service name. For information about resource type names of data services that are supplied with Sun Cluster, see the release notes for your release of Sun Cluster.

1. On a cluster member, become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorization.

2. Register the resource type.

   # clresourcetype register resource-type

   resource-type

   Specifies name of the resource type to add. See the release notes for your release of Sun Cluster to determine the predefined name to supply.

3. Verify that the resource type has been registered.

   # clresourcetype show

Example 2–1 Registering a Resource Type

The following example registers the SUNW.krb5 resource type, which represents the Sun Java System Web Server application in a Sun Cluster configuration.

# clresourcetype register SUNW.krb5
# clresourcetype show SUNW.krb5

Resource Type:                                  SUNW.krb5
RT_description:                                  HA-Kerberos KDC server for Sun Cluster
RT_version:                                      3.2
API_version:                                     6
RT_basedir:                                      /opt/SUNWsckrb5/bin
Single_instance:                                 False
Proxy:                                           False
Init_nodes:                                      All potential masters
Installed_nodes:                                 <All>
Failover:                                        True
Pkglist:                                         SUNWsckrb5
RT_system:                                       False

Next Steps

After registering resource types, you can create resource groups and add resources to the resource group. For details, see Creating a Resource Group.
