Cluster Name
Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2022 10:11 am
I recently got access to a new cluster and was looking for a name to refer it to but cannot find a system managed location for a name. Should there be one? Crowd pleaser request?
There is a notion of cluster alias for incoming network requests, with a name depending on the network stack used but that's not what I am referring to or looking for.
I'm used to talk about 'the DEV cluster', 'PROD', 'QA' and such but only just realized there is not formal place for this.
Under 'SHOW CLUSTER' there are several name fields, one 'NAME' but that's "Device name of the local port." eg PEA0.
No such thing as CLUSTER_NAME !?
Nothing under MCR SYSGEN SHOW /SCS either. Just an SCSNODE.
Some system managers add a text to SYS$WELCOME or SYS$ANNOUNCE along the line of 'node XXX member of the YYY cluster', but that's free format and optional.
Would a place to store a cluster name be a 'nice to have' feature ?
It would at least initially not be a function/technical item.
It would be more a documentation/help feature, providing a 'where am I connected to' answer.
Comments?
Hein.
