LLT and GRAB
VCS uses two components, LLT and GAB to share data over the private networks among systems.
These components provide the performance and reliability required by VCS.
LLT LLT (Low Latency Transport) provides fast, kernel-to-kernel comms and monitors network connections. The system admin configures the LLT by creating a configuration file (llttab) that describes the systems in the cluster and private network links among them. The LLT runs in layer 2 of the network stack
GAB GAB (Group membership and Atomic Broadcast) provides the global message order required to maintain a synchronised state among the systems, and monitors disk comms such as that required by the VCS heartbeat utility. The system admin configures GAB driver by creating a configuration file ( gabtab).
LLT and GAB files
/etc/llthosts
The file is a database, containing one entry per system, that links the LLT system ID with the hosts name. The file is identical on each server in the cluster.
/etc/llttab
The file contains information that is derived during installation and is used by the utility lltconfig.
/etc/gabtab
The file contains the information needed to configure the GAB driver. This file is used by the gabconfig utility.
/etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf
The VCS configuration file. The file contains the information that defines the cluster and its systems.

Starting and Stopping the cluster
"-stale" instructs the engine to treat the local config as stale
"-force" instructs the engine to treat a stale config as a valid one
hastart [-stale|-force]
Bring the cluster into running mode from a stale state using the configuration file from a particular server
hasys -force
stop the cluster on the local server but leave the application/s running, do not failover the application/s hastop -local
stop cluster on local server but evacuate (failover) the application/s to another node within the cluster hastop -local -evacuate
stop the cluster on all nodes but leave the application/s running
hastop -all -force

Freeze a system (No offlining system, No groups onlining)
hasys -freeze [-persistent][-evacuate]
Note: main.cf must be in write mode
Unfreeze a system ( reenable groups and resource back online)
hasys -unfreeze [-persistent]
Note: main.cf must be in write mode
Dynamic Configuration
The VCS configuration must be in read/write mode in order to make changes. When in read/write mode the
configuration becomes stale, a .stale file is created in $VCS_CONF/conf/config. When the configuration is put
back into read only mode the .stale file is removed.
Change configuration to read/write mode haconf -makerw
Change configuration to read-only mode haconf -dump -makero
Check what mode cluster is running in
haclus -display |grep -i 'readonly'
0 = write mode
1 = read only mode
Check the configuration file
hacf -verify /etc/VRTS/conf/config
Note: you can point to any directory as long as it has main.cf and types.cf
