<h1 class="topictitle1">Cluster administrative domain</h1>
<div><p>A <dfn class="term">cluster administrative domain</dfn> is used to manage
resources that need to be maintained consistently across the nodes in a clustered
environment. </p>
<div class="p">There can be certain operational or configuration parameters that need
to be defined on each node which is an access point for resilient data, applications,
and devices. If a change is made to one of these parameters on any node that
may be an access point for something, that change needs to propagated to all
other nodes which can be a potential access point. A cluster administrative
domain provides the capability to identify resources which need to be maintained
consistently across the nodes in a domain. It then monitors for changes to
these resources and synchronizes the changes across the active domain. A cluster
administrative domain is represented by a peer CRG. When a cluster administrative
domain is created, the peer CRG is created by the system. The name of the
cluster administrative domain becomes the name of the peer CRG. The nodes
which make up the cluster administrative domain are defined by the recovery
domain of the peer CRG. All of the nodes are peer nodes. Replicate nodes
are not allowed in a cluster administrative domain. A cluster node can only
be defined in one cluster administrative domain within the cluster. For more
information on associated cluster administrative domain tasks, see the following
topics:<ol><li><a href="rzaigplanadmindomain.htm">Plan for a cluster administrative domain</a></li>
<li><a href="rzaigadminchecklist.htm">Cluster administrative domain checklist</a></li>
<li><a href="rzaigcreateadmindomain.htm">Create a cluster administrative domain</a></li>
<li><a href="rzaigaddmonentries.htm">Add monitored resource entries</a></li>
<li><a href="rzaigstartpeercrg.htm">Start a CRG</a></li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>Once the cluster administrative domain is created, normal CRG functions
are used to manage the cluster administrative domain. For example, if you
want to add a node to administrative domain, you need to add a node to the
recovery domain of the CRG with a node role of peer. To start the cluster
administrative domain, you start the peer CRG. </p>
<p>By starting and ending the CRG, the process of synchronizing changes can
be controlled. When the CRG is ended, changes made to a monitored resource
on any node in the domain are not propagated to the rest of the domain. Once
the CRG is started, changes which had been made to any monitored resource
while it was inactive will be propagated to the rest of the domain. While
the CRG is active, changes made to any monitored resource on any active node
are propagated dynamically so that the resource remains consistent across
the administrative domain. See <a href="rzaigmonitorcluadmdmn.htm">Monitor a cluster administrative domain</a> for details.</p>
<p>In order to add a node to a cluster administrative domain, you need to
add a cluster node to the recovery domain of the peer CRG. When a node is
added to the domain, all resources being managed will be created on the new
node if they do not exist and will be synchronized with the rest of the administrative
domain. </p>
<p>If the cluster administrative domain is deleted, all resources that are
defined in the cluster administrative domain are removed from every node in
the domain; however the actual resource is not removed from the system. See <a href="rzaigconceptsmre.htm">Monitored resources</a> for
details.</p>
