The CONFIGURATION SET CLUSTER_AUTHORIZATION command modifies the
group number and password of a local area cluster, as recorded
in SYS$SYSTEM:CLUSTER_AUTHORIZE.DAT. If your configuration has
multiple system disks, SYSMAN automatically updates each copy
of CLUSTER_AUTHORIZE.DAT, provided the environment is defined as
a cluster (SET ENVIRONMENT/CLUSTER). For more information about
CLUSTER_AUTHORIZE.DAT, see HP OpenVMS Cluster Systems.
CAUTION
If you change either the group number or the password, you
must reboot the entire cluster.
The file CLUSTER_AUTHORIZE.DAT is initialized during execution
of CLUSTER_CONFIG.COM and maintained through SYSMAN. Under
normal conditions, altering records in the CLUSTER_AUTHORIZE.DAT
file interactively is not necessary. To protect the integrity
of the cluster membership use the CONFIGURATION SET CLUSTER_
AUTHORIZATION command.
