What sets variable HACMP_HCI_ROOT?

[Michael Brande]

Looking around to see what sets this variable:

HACMP_HCI_ROOT

Is this supposed to be available on the root account?

I found the following in the hci.profile file located (on AIX) at/home/hci/.cluster:

export HACMP_HCI_ROOT=$QUOVADX_INSTALL_DIR/integrator

The scripts in this folder are used to stop/start Cloverleaf on AIX failover.  They are owned by hci.

We’re currently on Cloverleaf 20.1, which came with some newer failover scripts (in the auto_start folder) that don’t have HACMP_HCI_ROOT, but I haven’t migrated to those scripts yet.

Very cool! In our Environment it is the root account that is calling these scripts.

Also I see that many of these scripts appear to run as root and then substitute user (su) to the HCI account.

su – hci – c “setroot $HACMP_HCI_ROOT;hciss -k h”

So the /home/hci/.cluster/hci.profile is not called.

I am looking at putting some of these into the root .profile.

I wonder, how… would anyone run these as hci and then su to hci?

Ok I get it now. This does run under root.
