(1) How to register HTTP Server as an application server
To manage HTTP Server in HACMP for AIX, you need to register HTTP Server as an application server.
Open the SMIT utility and select the Add and Application Server window to register the server name for 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 HTTP Server
If you want 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 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.
