About this task

Although the HACMP for AIX Installation Guide can be reviewed for detailed instructions, a high-level summary is provided here.
  1. Enter this command to start HACMP for AIX® system management: 
              smit hacmp
  2. Select Cluster Configuration > Cluster Resources > Define Application Servers > Add an Application Server.
  3. Enter field values as follows:
    Server Name
    Enter an ASCII text string that identifies the server (for example, tdpclientgrpA). You use this name to refer to the application server when you define it as a resource during node configuration. The server name can include alphabetic and numeric characters and underscores. Do not use more than 31 characters.
    Start Script
    Enter the full path name of the script that starts the server (for example, /usr/sbin/cluster/events/utils/start_tdpr3.sh). This script is called by the cluster event scripts. This script must be in the same location on each cluster node that might start the server.
    Stop Script
    Enter the full path name of the script that stops the server (for example, /usr/sbin/cluster/events/utils/stop_tdpr3.sh). This script is called by the cluster event scripts. This script must be in the same location on each cluster node that might stop the server.
  4. Press Enter to add this information to the HACMP for AIX ODM.
  5. Press F10 after the command completes to leave SMIT and return to the command line.
