Creating common resources

Create a common resource for use with both the Oracle ARK and the PostgreSQL ARK.

Create an LB Health Check Resource

1. In the LifeKeeper GUI, create an LB Health Check resource. From the menu bar, click Edit > Server > Create Resource Hierarchy and follow the prompts to enter the details following tables.

*Note: The LB Health Check Resource Tag defaults to lbhc-<port>. The Gen-LB tag is used here to match the other samples.

2. The following screen will appear when the LB Health Check resource is created.
   

Create IP Resources

1. In the LifeKeeper GUI, create an IP resource. From the menu bar, click Edit > Server > Create Resource Hierarchy and follow the prompts to enter the details following tables.

*1 : Specifies the IP address that was automatically assigned when the NLB was generated.

*2 : When configuring the Virtual IP address, the subnet mask must be set to 255.255.255.255 to avoid routing conflicts (for the 10.0.2.0/24 subnet in this example). When prompted for the subnet mask, you can enter the value in the text box.

*3 : The name may vary. Select the name of the (second) NIC connected to 10.0.3.0/24. Ensure that the NIC is connected to a subnet (10.0.3.0/24) other than the IP resource (10.0.2.21). As seen below, run ipconfig in the command prompt and select the NIC on which 10.0.3.11 or 10.0.3.12 is active (Ethernet 2 in the screenshot).

2. The following screen will appear when the IP resource is created.
   

Creating a Mirror Volume Resource Hierarchy

Here we create a mirrored volume using the Block Volume disk (D drive) added to each cluster node.

1. Log in to SIOS20LKNODE01 and launch the LifeKeeper GUI.

2. From the LifeKeeper GUI menu bar, click Edit > Server > Create Resource Hierarchy and follow the prompts to enter the details following tables.

3. The following screen appears when the mirror volume resource hierarchy is created.
