scoreboard is a cluster database server used to maintain the cluster database. It
should be run before any cluster nodes are used, and before commands such as
msgbserv(8),
scout(1) or
scrun(1) are executed. scoreboard
maintains information such as host and network information for
SCOUT and SCore in
order to configure a cluster.
If -defects is specified with a filename, then the specified
file is read and the hosts listed in the file are marked as removed
from the database. Excluded hosts are listed in hostname per line
format. This option is used for removing host(s) temporarily.
The options available for scoreboard:
- -help
-
Provides a summary of the command structure
- -port socket-portno
-
Specifies the socket port number. The default port number is 9950
- -file db-filename
-
Specifies the database filename (absolute path) which holds the cluster
configuration information
- -defects defected-hosts-filename
-
Specifies the filename (absolute path) which lists the defected
hosts.
- -n number-of-processes
-
Specifies the number of daemon processes to start. (Not implemented on Solaris)
Upon execution, scoreboard reads its configuration information from a
configuration file which, by default, is
(INSTALL_DIR)/etc/scorehosts.db.
