Core Parameters List

The table below lists and explains names and meanings of the Core parameters. These values are tuned by editing the /etc/default/LifeKeeper configuration file.

Notes
REMOTETIMEOUT Number of seconds between when a process sends a request through the "lcdsendremote" function to another machine before it expects a response. If no response is received in this time interval, the function will try an alternate path if available. Integers 900 LifeKeeper startup
CONFIRMSODEF The default action to take during machine failover processing when failover confirmation is configured. The default action is only taken when no manual response is received from the administrator within the timeout period (see CONFIRMSOTO).

0: proceed with failover

1: block the failover

0 As required See the Confirm Failover and Block Resource Failover Settings.
CONFIRMSOTO The time in seconds to wait for administrator action when failover confirmation is configured. When the timeout period expires the default action for CONFIMRSODEF is taken. Otherwise, the administrator action is taken. Integers 600 As required

Machine failover processing will be delayed until administrator confirmation is received or the timeout period expires.

See the Confirm Failover and Block Resource Failover Settings.

FAILFASTTIMER Number of seconds between verifying that a reserved device is still reserved by the local system. If the device is not reserved then the system will halt and reboot. Integers 5 LifeKeeper startup
SCSIERROR Determines the action to take when a SCSI device cannot be opened, accessed, or another SCSI error occurs (e.g., timeout).

event: LifeKeeper’s core should be informed that a device needs to be switched over to a backup system

halt: The system should immediately be halted and rebooted to avoid data corruption

event LifeKeeper startup SCSIERROR does not override the action taken in the case of a lost SCSI reservation – a halt is always performed in that case.
LKCHECKINTERVAL Application health monitoring wait time (in seconds) between checks. Set to zero to disable health monitoring. Integers (0, 1 and over) 120 LifeKeeper startup Changed setup must be set up again when LifeKeeper is upgraded because the set up is overwritten to the original default at the time.
FILESYSFULLWARN The file system full threshold at which time warning messages will start appearing in the LifeKeeper log. Setting to 0 will disable monitoring. Integers 90 As required
FILESYSFULLERROR

The file system full threshold at which time error messages will start appearing in the LifeKeeper log. Additionally the LKROOT/events/filesys/diskfull/notify script will be called when this threshold is reached.

Setting to 0 will disable monitoring.

Integers 95 As required
LK_TRAP_MGR One or more network managers (separated by commas) to receive SNMP traps. No traps are sent if this variable is not set. String (not set) As required This value can be configured using /opt/LifeKeeper/bin/lk_configsnmp. Do not include spaces in the value. Especially when specifying more than one network managers, please make sure not to include spaces before and after the comma.
LK_NOTIFY_ALIAS

Email address or address list used to receive notification messages when certain events occur in a LifeKeeper cluster. A null value indicates no notification will occur. The expected format is:

LK_NOTIFY_ALIAS=

– no notification is sent

LK_NOTIFY_ALIAS=user1@domain1

– mail sent to user1 at domain1

LK_NOTIFY_ALIAS=user1@domain1,user2@domain1

– mail sent to user1 and user2 at domain1

String (not set) As required This value can be configured using /opt/LifeKeeper/bin/ lk_confignotifyalias.
LKSYSLOGTAG Tag for syslog. String LifeKeeper LifeKeeper startup
LKSYSLOGSELECTOR Level for syslog. user, daemon, local0, local1, …or local7 local6 LifeKeeper startup
LCMHBEATTIME The interval, in seconds, used to send heartbeats signal Failing to receive the LCM signal, which includes heartbeat signal, from another server within the interval time is determined as heartbeat stop. Integers 5 LifeKeeper startup If a value is 0, it will be set to the default. For detailed information, refer to Tuning the LifeKeeper Heartbeat; in SIOS Technical Documentation.
LCMNUMHBEATS Number of consecutive missed heartbeats to mark a communication path down. In the real implemented system, it is not the number, but LCMHBEATTIME x LCMNUMHBEATS seconds missing communication is determined as communication path disconnection. Integers 3 LifeKeeper startup If a value is 0, it will be set to the default. For detailed information, refer to Tuning the LifeKeeper Heartbeat in SIOS Technical Documentation.
LC_MESSAGES Changes the language environment. String C LifeKeeper startup When changing the value, be aware that it may adversely affect the way LifeKeeper operates. The side effects depend on whether or not message catalogs are installed for various languages and utilities and if they produce text output that LifeKeeper does not expect.
GUI_WEB_PORT Specifies the port to use for LifeKeeper Management Web servers (lkGUI). Integers 81 Restarting steeleye-lighttpd

To reboot steeleye-lighttpd:

/opt/LifeKeeper/sbin/sv restart /opt/LifeKeeper/etc/service/steeleye-lighttpd

API_SSL_PORT Specifies the port used for the LifeKeeper API. Integers 778 Restarting steeleye-lighttpd

To reboot steeleye-lighttpd:

/opt/LifeKeeper/sbin/sv restart /opt/LifeKeeper/etc/service/steeleye-lighttpd

LOGMGR_LOGLEVEL Specifies the log level of Generic Applications. LK_INFO or LK_ERROR LK_ERROR LifeKeeper startup or restarting the lk_logmgr process
