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 VSI 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.
