Runlevel h2?

[gcazian]

I found this entry in muy inittab:

ha_star:h2nce:/etc/rc.ha_star >/dev/console 2>&1

I'm pretty sure it's related to HACMP, but can someone explain what runlevel 'h2' is?

Hi ,

Does the rc . script get run ?

Because run levels listed in man page for inittab are 0-9 and a,b or c .

Are you sure this isn't a typeo and should be 2 rather than h2.

just a few thoughts

DSMARWAY, the h2 is correct for HACMP, however, I don't know what the 'h' is. I work on SP's but have never done HACMP.

hi,
i have worked on HACMP , but never seen the h2 entry in inittab ?

what version of HACMP are you running i.e classic or HACMP/ES ?

Actually there isn't a runlevel h2. What you are looking at is somthing that runs at run levels h and 2. Run levels are alway a single character. Look for the initdefault line in inittab and that will tell you your default run level.

As for ha_star, it is part of a bos.rte.xxxx lpp (can't remeber which) and is primarily used for dynamic CPU deallocation.

Hope that helps.

Its valid. I have seen it used in HA installs before. I think its a flag that HACMP looks for on boot, but I cant be sure. I do know that it wants it.

I know it uses it, but how I don't know. At my former company there was HACMP but I worked on the SP and not HACMP. But I know it is there, but how I don't know; I am sure it is designating the 'h' as a high availability runtime level.
