Use the File Collections page
to view and manage file collections for the cluster.
File collections manage one or more files as a single unit and are used to keep application-specific configuration information synchronized on all cluster nodes. This is important for event scripts, application scripts, AIX® files, and PowerHA® configuration files where synchronization is required.
There are two default file collections called Configuration_Files and HACMP_Files, which you cannot remove or modify. You can remove and modify any custom-created file collections, which includes the ability to add files that also belong to the HACMP_Files collection to a custom-created file collection.
The Configuration_Files file collection is a container for certain essential system files, such as etc/hosts and /usr/es/sbin/cluster/netmon.cf, and so forth.
The HACMP_Files file collection is a container for user configurable files, such as customized pre-events and post-events, administrative alert events, application controller start and stop scripts, application monitor scripts, custom snapshot methods, and so forth.
To view a list of available file collections for the cluster, Additional Properties and select File Collections from the View list at the top of the page.
