Building your consumer tree

Follow these rules when building a consumer tree:

  • You must be a cluster administrator.

  • You cannot create a consumer beneath a consumer that has anything registered to it. You must unregister before you can create a sub-consumer.

  • You can only create five levels of consumers including the cluster (top) level.

  • You cannot change your cluster name.

  • You must build your tree from the top down.

Defaults

The consumers ManagementServices, SymTesting, SampleApplications, SymExec, and ClusterServices, along with their sub-consumers, are installed by default.

  • ManagementServices has two sub-consumers, EGOManagementServices and SymphonyManagementServices, which run important system services on management hosts in the cluster. Services include derbydb, plc, purger, ServiceDirector, WEBGUI, and WebServiceGateway. ManagementServices is configured to use the ManagementHosts resource group. Do not modify or delete this consumer or its sub-consumers.

  • SymTesting has one sub-consumer, Symping51, which runs the Symphony configuration testing tool, Symping.

  • SampleApplications has two sub-consumers, SOASamples and EclipseSamples.

    The SampleApplications consumer and its sub-consumers can be modified or deleted (although you may want to use the provided samples to begin using EGO right away).

  • SymExec has one sub-consumer, SymExec51.

    The SymExec51 consumer lets you submit commands to symexec5.1 using the Run Executable tool.

  • ClusterServices is configured to use the InternalResourceGroup resource group.

    It has two sub-consumers, EGOClusterServices and SymphonyClusterServices, which run important system services on every host in the cluster. Do not modify or delete ClusterServices or use it to run workload units.
