Managing HP Serviceguard A.11.20.00 for Linux, June 2012

NOTE: If you do not include a base module (or default or all) on the cmmakepkg command
line, cmmakepkg will ignore the modules you specify and generate a default configuration file
containing all the parameters.
For a complex package, or if you are not yet sure which parameters you will need to set, the
default may be the best choice; see the first example below.
You can use the-v option with cmmakepkg to control how much information is displayed online
or included in the configuration file. Valid values are 0, 1 and 2. -v 0 removes all comments; -v
1 includes a brief heading for each parameter; -v 2 provides a full description of each parameter.
The default is level 2.
• To generate a configuration file that contains all the optional modules:
cmmakepkg $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf
• To create a generic failover package (that could be applied without editing):
cmmakepkg -n pkg1 -m sg/failover $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf
• To generate a configuration file for a failover package that uses relocatable IP addresses and
runs an application that requires file systems to be mounted at run time (enter the command
all on one line):
cmmakepkg -m sg/failover -m sg/package_ip -m sg/service -m
sg/filesystem -m sg/volume_group $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf
• To generate a configuration file adding the generic resources module to an existing
package (enter the command all on one line):
cmmakepkg -i $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf -m sg/generic_resource
• To generate a configuration file for a failover package that runs an application that requires
another package to be up (enter the command all on one line):
cmmakepkg -m sg/failover -m sg/dependency -m sg/service
$SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf
• To generate a configuration file adding the services module to an existing package (enter
the command all on one line):
cmmakepkg -i $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf -m sg/service
$SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1_v2.conf
NOTE: You can add more than one module at a time.
• To generate a configuration file adding the Persistent Reservation module to an existing
package:
cmmakepkg -i $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf -m sg/pr_cntl
Next Step
The next step is to edit the configuration file you have generated; see “Editing the Configuration
File” (page 175).
Editing the Configuration File
When you have generated the configuration file that contains the modules your package needs
(see “Generating the Package Configuration File” (page 174)), you need to edit the file to set the
package parameters to the values that will make the package function as you intend.
It is a good idea to configure complex failover packages in stages, as follows:
