.TH "/etc/sysconfig/o2cb" "5" "January 2012" "Version 1.8.5" "OCFS2 Manual Pages" .SH "NAME" /etc/sysconfig/o2cb \- Cluster configuration file for the \fBo2cb\fR cluster stack. .SH "SYNOPSIS" .PP The configuration file \fB/etc/sysconfig/o2cb\fR stores the active cluster stack, its name and the various cluster timeouts for the \fBo2cb\fR cluster stack. .SH "DESCRIPTION" .PP This file can be populated using the \fIo2cb\fR init script. An example of the same is illustrated in the examples section. The list of configurable parameters in this file are: .TP \fBO2CB_STACK\fR Name of the cluster stack. The possible values are \fBo2cb\fR, \fBpcmk\fR and \fBcman\fR. \fBo2cb\fR is the default cluster stack of the \fBOCFS2\fR file system. \fBpcmk\fR (Pacemaker) and \fBcman\fR (rgmanager) are the two other cluster stacks that are supported by the same file system. .TP \fBO2CB_BOOTCLUSTER\fR Name of the active cluster. While /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf can hold descriptions of multiple clusters, only one can be active at any one time. The name of that active cluster is specified here. The name itself can be up to 16 alphanumeric characters [0-9A-Za-z] with no special characters. .PP The remaining configurable parameters (cluster timeouts) are only relevant for the \fBo2cb\fR cluster stack. These cluster timeouts are used by the \fBo2cb\fR cluster stack to determine whether a node is dead or alive. The default timeouts are just a guide and may need to be tweaked depending on the hardware the software is running on. The various \fIcluster timeouts\fR for the \fBo2cb\fR cluster stack are: .TP \fBO2CB_HEARTBEAT_THRESHOLD\fR The disk heartbeat timeout is the number of two second iterations before a node is considered dead. The exact formula used to convert the timeout in seconds to the number of iterations is as follows: .in +4n O2CB_HEARTBEAT_THRESHOLD = (((timeout in seconds) / 2) + 1) .in For example, to specify a 60 sec timeout, set it to 31. For 120 secs, set it to 61. The default for this timeout is 60 secs (O2CB_HEARTBEAT_THRESHOLD = 31). While it defaults to 60 secs, multipath users typically set it to 120 secs. .TP \fBO2CB_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS\fR The network idle timeout specifies the time in milliseconds before a network connection is considered dead. While it defaults to 30000 ms, network bonding users typically set it to 60000 ms. .TP \fBO2CB_KEEPALIVE_DELAY_MS\fR The network keepalive specifies the maximum delay in milliseconds before a keepalive packet is sent to another node to check whether it is alive or not. It defaults to 2000 ms. .TP \fBO2CB_RECONNECT_DELAY_MS\fR The network reconnect specifies the minimum delay in milliseconds between repeated connect attempts. It defaults to 2000 ms. .PP .SH "EXAMPLE" The example below illustrates populating the o2cb sysconfig file using the \fIo2cb\fR init script. .nf .ps 9 .ft 6 $ service o2cb configure Configuring the O2CB driver. This will configure the on-boot properties of the O2CB driver. The following questions will determine whether the driver is loaded on boot. The current values will be shown in brackets ('[]'). Hitting without typing an answer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C will abort.
