Extract the Existing Cluster Information

Run the commands listed below to extract the existing cluster configuration information created in step 1 above. Save this information into a file (note the export command outputs information to stdout). Ensure all resources are In Service on the node before running the export script.

#/opt/LifeKeeper/lkadm/bin/lkexportxml

Note that if the LifeKeeper hierarchy contains resource types not listed as supported in section 2-3 of this document will result in an error when running lkexportxml.

Usage examples:

Assuming that the output file is resource.xml, and its directory is under ~/Chef.

# /opt/LifeKeeper/lkadm/bin/lkexportxml>~/Chef/resource.xml

Examples of output result

The file created here is copied to the Chef workstation (The Linux node where the attribute conversion script “exp2chef.pl” was copied in section ‘Environment Preparation’).
