Failover support

For platform side support, template files for CentOS cluster settings are located inside the auto-start directory.

For the CIS built-in toolset, there are two parts to facilitate starting/recovering the CIS platforms/clusters in failover:

  • Service support
  • Auto-start script support

Service support

The CIS installer on all supported OS platforms can install the CIS services so that the CIS engine, MonitorD, Host Server, and other runtime instances can be brought up during OS startup.

  • On Windows, a Windows Service is installed and can be managed the same way as other Windows services.
  • On Linux and AIX, the CIS service is installed by the script hciunixservice under HCIROOT. For example, calling hciunixservice -i h as root installs the Host Server and the sites' auto-start services into the system.

    For detailed usage, run the script directly.
