(1) How to register Cosminexus HTTP Server as an application server

To manage Cosminexus HTTP Server in HACMP for AIX, you need to register Cosminexus HTTP Server as an application server.

Open the SMIT utility and select the Add and Application Server window to register the server name for Cosminexus HTTP Server, start script, and stop script.

(a) Example of a start script

#!/bin/sh
/opt/hitachi/httpsd/sbin/httpsdctl start

(b) Example of a stop script

#!/bin/sh
/opt/hitachi/httpsd/sbin/httpsdctl stop

(2) How to monitor Cosminexus HTTP Server

If you want Cosminexus HTTP Server to be monitored by HACMP for AIX, you need to store a script. Create a script that best suits your operating environment.

If you are using HACMP/ES (Enhanced Scalability feature), open the SMIT utility and select the Add Custom Application Monitor window to store the monitoring script for Cosminexus HTTP Server.

(3) Notes

When takeover to another node occurs, normal HTTP connections and connections using SSL are all disconnected, and these are not taken over by the standby node. In this case, the clients must be reconnected.
