Configuring pre-event and post-event commands

Edit online

You can use SMIT to define your customized cluster event script.

About this task

Pre and post event scripts can be specified directly by entering the full path to your script, or you can define a custom event as described below. You can specify multiple scripts or custom event names separated by commas.

If you do not want to configure custom events and simply specify a full path instead, you can proceed directly to Configuring pre-event and post-event processing.

To define your customized cluster event scripts:

Procedure

  1. From the command line, enter smit sysmirror
  2. In SMIT, select Custom Cluster Configuration > Events > Cluster Events > Pre/Post-Event Commands > Add a Custom Event Command and press Enter.
  3. Enter the field values as follows:
    Table 1. Add a Custom Event Command fields
    Field Value
    Cluster Event Name Enter a name for the command. The name can have a maximum of 64 characters.
    Cluster Event Description Enter a short description of the event.
    Cluster Event Script Filename Enter the full pathname of the user-defined script to execute.
  4. Press Enter to add the information to PowerHA® SystemMirror®custom class in the local PowerHA SystemMirror Configuration Database (ODM).
  5. Go back to the Events menu and select Verify and Synchronize Cluster Configuration (Advanced) to synchronize your changes across all cluster nodes.
    Note: Synchronizing does not propagate the actual new or changed scripts; you must add these to each node manually.
