    /vsaction-DISCARD
    ; /vsnoadm GWAVA disables scanning of admin messages (recommended)
    ; /vsnoadm can only be used for GW 7.01 or later
    ; /vsnoadm
    ; /vsnostatus GWAVA disables scanning of Status messages (recommended)
    ; /vsnostatus can only be used for GW 7.03 or later
    ; /vsnostatus

  • The process of creating the MTA Scanner adds a folder in the directory /opt/beginfinite/gwava/services. This folder must have a name similar to the following to /gwava_scan_engine_1aq7hmr.1aq7Kue.v, where the alphanumeric sequence must match, in part, with the id_object identified in the loading instructions added in the configuration file for the domain, as described above. This folder will be used by the GWAVA and, more specifically, by the MTA Scanner to review all emails that are sent from or to the domain.

  • It is recommended that you restart the GWAVA before proceeding with the following steps.

  • Go to the management console of GWAVA, select the option "Server / Interface Management", select "Configure Servers" and select the option "IP Configuration" in the options menu

  • Put the IP address that has been defined for the service of GWAVA in each of the components, as shown in the graphic below. This IP address can be the same of the cluster resource or any IP that has been set for the GWAVA in clusterGWAVA12

  • Stop the GWAVA using the command "rcgwavaman stop".Verify that no component of GWAVA is running on the server with the command "ps aux | grep gwava".In the case that any component is not downloaded you can use the pkill command to force the stop of daemon.

    Example: pkill commands -9 gwava or pkill commands -9 <number> process

  • Move the folder of the GWAVA from its current location to its new location in the cluster resource where you will find the domain"mv /opt/beginfinite/gwava /media/nss/Domain Volumen/"

  • Avoid that the script of loading and unloading of the GWAVA (Gwavaman) starts as an automatic service, running the command:"insserv -r gwavaman"

  • Remove the script loading and unloading of the gwavaman the directory /etc/init.d"rm /etc/init.d/gwavaman"

  • Modify the GWAVA script to specify its new location.Edit the file: /media/nss/ Domain Volumen /opt/beginfinite/gwava/assets/bin/gwava6Locate the label GWAVA_LOCATION and modify the path of the product, by putting their current location within the cluster resource

    "GWAVA_LOCATION= /media/nss/Domain Volumen /opt/beginfinite/gwava/"

    (Optional). Locate the line STANDARD_GWAVA_BIN and verify that the location of the binary files is maintained in the following location:

    STANDARD_GWAVA_BIN= " /opt/beginfinite/gwava/assets/bin/linux/x32/"

    Save the changes.

  • Edit the file /media/nss/ Domain Volumen /opt/beginfinite/gwava/assets/conf/services.confModify the path location of GWAVA (arguments ! /Root ) and place its current location in the cluster and add the IP address to be associated with each service of GWAVA (arguments ! /Gmanaddress ) in the cluster, as shown in the following example.
    [gwavaman]
    program ! gwavaman
    arguments ! /root=/media/nss/ Domain Volumen /opt/beginfinite/gwava
    wait ! 2
    [gwavaqms]
    program ! qms2
    arguments ! /gmanAddress= 192.168.1.0
    [gwava]
    program ! gwava
    arguments ! /gmanAddress=192.168.1.0
    [gwvrelay]
    program ! gwvrelay
    arguments ! /gmanAddress=192.168.1.0
    [gwavapoa]
    program ! gwavapoa
    arguments ! /gmanAddress=192.168.1.0
    [gwavaupd]
    program ! gwavaupd
    arguments ! /gmanAddress=192.168.1.0
    [gwvgwia]
    program ! gwvgwia
    arguments ! /gmanAddress=192.168.1.0
    [gwvsmtp]
    program ! gwvsmtp
    arguments ! /gmanAddress=192.168.1.0
    [gwvstats]
    program ! gwvstats
    arguments ! /gmanAddress=192.168.1.0
    [gwvicap]
    program ! gwvicap
    arguments ! /gmanAddress=192.168.1.0
    [gwvapi]
    program ! gwvapi
    arguments ! /gmanAddress=192.168.1.0

  • Modify the configuration file for the domain to associate the MTA scanner that was created earlier (activity 22), with the IP address of the cluster resource where was moved the GWAVA.Edit the file: /media /media/nss/Domain Volumen/domain folder/groupwise/agents/share/domain.mtaLocate the parameter /vsnamevalue - and add the instruction <gmanAddress IP Address> < /gmanAddress> after the value <id_object>, as specified in the following example:

    /vsnamevalue- <gwavaman> <mta_agent> <id_object>1AQ7hmr.1aq7Kue.q< /id_object> <gmanAddress 192.168.1.0> < /gmanAddress> < /mta_agent> < /gwavaman>

    Save the changes.

  • Because the MTA Scanner was created using the local configuration of the server, it is necessary to recreate the symbolic links. In symbolic link lets you know the GWAVA the location of your files.Before creating the symbolic link is necessary to remove the current, which points to the address of the server's local hard disk.Do the following commands to remove the current links:

    unlink /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/lib/libgwvsmod.os
    unlink /lib/libgwvsmod.os

    Do the following commands to recreate the links to your current location:

    "ln -s = /media/nss/Domain Volumen/opt/beginfinite/gwava/assets/bin/linux/x32/libgwvsmod.so /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/lib"

    "ln -s / = /media/nss/Domain Volumen/opt/beginfinite/gwava/assets/bin/linux/x32/libgwvsmod.so /lib"

  • Verify that the symbolic links were created correctly by running the commands"l /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/lib/libgwvsmod.so"
    "l /lib/libgwvsmod.so" IMPORTANT! .The symbolic links must be created in all the cluster nodes where you will run GWAVA.

  • Edit the loading and unloading scripts of the cluster resource to add the necessary lines to the beginning of the GWAVA, and to stop the service when the cluster resource is placed off-line or migrated to another node.Use iManager to edit the scripts da loading and unloading.In the load script put the following statement before the load of the agent of the domain and add a delay time of approximately 5 seconds:

    "ignore_error /media/nss/Domain Volume/opt/beginfinite/gwava/assets/bin/gwava6 start"
    "delay 5"

    In the download script put the following statement prior to the discharge of the agent of the domain and add a timeout of 10 seconds

    "ignore_error /media/nss/Domain Volume/opt/beginfinite/gwava/assets/bin/gwava6 stop"
    "delay 10"

    The timeouts for loading and unloading of the service of GWAVA are vital for the correct functioning of the service, especially at the time that the cluster resource is migrated from one node to another. If necessary adjust or increase the parameter of expected at the time of download GWAVA

  • Migrate the cluster resource by all the nodes and check if it worked correctly.

  • Ready!
