Hello Antony,

can you update the OS & VCS version ?

Assuming that its a solaris & taking example of VCS 5.0, Looking at VCS users guide:

Defining attributes as local

Localizing an attribute means that the attribute has a per-system value for each
system listed in the group’s SystemList. These attributes are localized on a
per-resource basis.

For example, to localize the attribute attribute_name for
resource only, type:

# hares -local resource attribute_name

Note that global attributes cannot be modified with the hares -local
command. The following table lists the commands to be used to localize
attributes depending on their dimension.

To have a detail look on table, visit VCS users guide located at:

http://sfdoccentral.symantec.com/Storage_Foundatio...

So what you are doing is correct. To my knowledge Localizing an attribute won't be altered to types.cf rather changes would go in main.cf . For e.g sometimes while defining NIC cards, resource attribute is localized per system in main.cf:

MultiNICB gnic_n (

Device @north = { ce0, ce4 }
Device @south = { qfe0, qfe4 }

NetworkHosts = { "192.1.0.1" }
)

Hope this helps..

Hello Gaurav.

I have read this documentation and it looks strange for me that ttribute couldn't be predefined as local in types.cf file.

Anyway, thank you for your opinion.
