Managing HP Serviceguard A.12.00.00 for Linux, June 2014

NOTE: Ensure that the filesystem is clean before adding any filesystem to the package
configuration file. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Activate the volume group on which the filesystem is created:
vgchange --addtag <Fully qualified domain name of the node>
<volume_group name>
vgchange -a y <volume_group name>
2. Run the filesystem specific fsck command for ext2, ext3, and ext4 filesystems:
fsck_command <fs_name>
Where, fsck_command can be different depending on the filesystem type.
If fsck commands detects that the filesystem is clean, you can add the filesystem to the
package configuration file. Otherwise, do not add the filesystem to the package
configuration file. For information about filesystem specific fsck command, see Table 9
3. If the filesystem is of xfs or btrfs, mount the filesystem:
◦ If mount is successful, you can use the filesystem and umount.
◦ If mount is not successful, run xfs_repair command for xfs filesystem and
btrfsck command for btrfs filesystem. If xfs_repair or btrfsck command
succeeds, you can use the filesystem in the package configuration file.
4. Deactivate the volume group:
vgchange -a n <volume_group name>
5. Run the following command:
vgchange --deltag <Fully qualified domain name of the node>
<volume_group name>
• Services are executable.
• Any package that this package depends on is already be part of the cluster configuration.
For more information, see the manpage for cmcheckconf (1m) and “Verifying Cluster and
Package Components” (page 220).
When cmcheckconf has completed without errors, apply the package configuration, for example:
cmapplyconf -P $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf
This adds the package configuration information to the binary cluster configuration file in the
$SGCONF directory and distributes it to all the cluster nodes.
NOTE: For modular packages, you now need to distribute any external scripts identified by the
external_pre_script and external_script parameters.
6.6 Alert Notification for Serviceguard Environment
Alert notification enhances Serviceguard capability by sending email notification to configured
email addresses in case of predefined set of events. Email addresses can be configured by editing
the email_id parameter in the package configuration file. This feature is applicable on Oracle,
NFS, Enterprise Database Postgres Plus Advanced Server (EDB PPAS) and Sybase Toolkits, and
serviceguard-xdc packages.
NOTE: This feature is supported only on modular style package.
