Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) cluster configuration file is /etc/cluster/cluster.conf
NOTE: Red Hat discourages direct editing of the cluster configuration file and recommends using the system-config-cluster GUI.
However, if you need to edit the file, here’s a method that works:
STEP 1: Edit the Cluster Configuration file on any one node in the cluster
- Open /etc/cluster/cluster.conf using your favourite editor amd make your required changes.
- Ensure that you increment the config_version (in line 2) by 1. For example, if the config_version is 45, then make it 46.
- Save and close the file
STEP 2: Update the cluster
Execute the following command (with root privileges) on the same node used in STEP 1:
ccs_tool update /etc/cluster/cluster.conf |
The above command will display output similar to the following:
Config file updated from version 45 to 46
Update complete.
