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.
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 |
