The file /var/opt/dsau/cfengine_master/inputs/cfservd.conf controls which
managed clients have access to the files served by cfservd on the master. Make the following
edits to cfservd.conf:
•

Replace the “<%CFSERVD_DOMAIN_LISTS%>“token with a comma-separated list of
wildcarded DNS domains or hostnames for the systems that are allowed to access this
server. For example:

domain_list = ( “*.abc.xyz.com,*.cde.xyz.com“ )

This statement allows all hosts in the abc.xyz.com and cde.xyz.com domains to access
the master server.

IMPORTANT:

No spaces are allowed in this comma-separated list.

Prefix each domain name with the “*.” wildcard.

NOTE:

The csync_wizard only supports specifying wildcarded domain names in

cfservd.conf. If you manually edit cfservd.conf and include a combination of specific
hostnames or IP address and wildcarded domains, then subsequent runs of csync_wizard
will replace this line with a list of wildcarded domains based on the list of hosts present
in cfrun.hosts.

10. On the master server, start cfservd:

# /etc/init.d/cfservd start

Repeat this for each managed client.

NOTE:

cfservd.conf must be present in /var/opt/dsau/cfengine/inputs

before executing this command.

11. Test the configuration by performing the following steps:

On a managed client, use the command:

# cfagent --no-lock --verbose --no-splay

The verbose output will display the client checking for updated copies of the master
policy files, copying them down to /var/opt/cfengine/inputs if needed, and then
executing the contents of cfagent.conf/cf.main.

On the master server, test the cfrun command:

# cfrun -- --inform

The --inform syntax instructs the remote cfagent to use the --inform flag which
will produce messages for all changes cfengine performs on the system. For additional
information, the --verbose can also be helpful:

# cfrun -v -- --verbose

The -v instructs cfrun itself to be more verbose and the --verbose is passed on to
the remote cfagent.

2.3.2.2 Manually Configuring a Serviceguard Cluster Synchronization Server

Configuring cfengine for high availability in a Serviceguard cluster is similar to configuring it
for a standalone machine, which is described in the section

“Using the Wizard to Configure a

Standalone Synchronization Server” (page 21)

. The primary differences are the creation of the
