    No this is wrong you need to run:

     

    haconf -makerw
hares -add ntfr NotifierMngr ClusterService
hares -modify ntfr SmtpServer = mailhost
hares -modify ntfr SmtpRecipients mike@veritas.com Error
hares -modify ntfr Enabled 1
haconf -dump -makero
    If you don't have a ClusterService service group then you would need to create this group first.
     
    You should not edit the types.cf file - there is nothing that needs changing in here - the above commands add a resource to main.cf (which looks like resource in my last post), but if you edit main.cf, then you have to bounce VCS for it to take effect.

One last question. Is there a way to format the message better right now it throws it as one continues string without line returns and flag it as a high importance message Event Time: Tue 28 Aug 2012 06:40:25 PM UTCEntity Name: alerts Entity Type: Resource Entity Subtype: Application Entity State: Resource has faulted Traps Origin: Veritas_Cluster_Server System Name: cmsapp-49-209 Entities Container Name: CMSApp_Cluster Entities Container Type: Service Group Into Event Time: Tue 28 Aug 2012 06:40:25 PM UTC Entity Name: alerts Entity Type: Resource Entity Subtype: Application Entity State: Resource has faulted Traps Origin: Veritas_Cluster_Server System Name: app-49-209 Entities Container Name: CMSApp_Cluster Entities Container Type: Service Group
