Master Machine (TA_MASTER)

Description

The name of the master machine, which is the node on which the master copy of the configuration file (TUXCONFIG) for your application is located. In a multiprocessor environment, this machine is also the one that should run the DBBL.

Valid Values

The format for this value is:

LMID1[,LMID2]

where:

LMID1

Is the master machine.

LMID2

Is the backup machine.

Notes

Each logical machine identifier (LMID) contains a maximum of 30 characters. The name of the master machine (LMID1) must correspond to the local machine for inactive applications. For a single-machine application, you cannot specify a backup machine.

The administrator can assign the name or it can be specified in your application.

A master machine name is required; specifying a backup machine is optional. For more information about using a Master and Backup machine to swap machines, refer to the section, Setting up Master and Backup Machines. If you specify a backup machine, it will be used as an alternate location (for the TUXCONFIG file and the DBBL) during process relocation and booting.
