clusters(4) Sun Cluster File Formats clusters(4)NAMEclusters - cluster names databaseSYNOPSIS/etc/clustersDESCRIPTIONThe clusters file contains information regarding the known clusters in the local naming domain. For each cluster a single line should be present with the following information: clustername whitespace-delimited list of hosts Expansion is recursive if a name on the right hand side is tagged with the expansion marker: ``*''. Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or TAB characters. A `#' indicates the beginning of a comment. Characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file. Cluster names may contain any printable character other than an upper case character, a field delimiter, NEWLINE, or comment character. The maximum length of a cluster name is 32 characters. This information is used by Sun Cluster system administration tools, like cconsole(1M) to specify a group of nodes to administer. The names used in this database must be host names, as used in the hosts database. The database is available from either NIS or NIS+ maps or a local file. Lookup order can be specified in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file. The default order is nis files.EXAMPLESExample 1 A Sample /etc/clusters File Here is a typical /etc/clusters file: bothclusters *planets *wine planets mercury venus wine zinfandel merlot chardonnay riesling Here is a typical /etc/nsswitch.conf entry: clusters: nis filesFILES/etc/clusters /etc/nsswitch.confATTRIBUTESSee attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWsczu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Uncommitted | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+SEE ALSOcconsole(1M), chosts(1M), serialports(4), nsswitch.conf(4), attributes(5) Sun Cluster 3.2 26 Jun 2006 clusters(4)
