Maintaining packages
When a Serviceguard package is in maintenance mode, it ensures the package will not failover
to an alternate node due to any failure in the application that is configured in the package.
To perform maintenance:
1. Enable the maintenance mode for the package using the cmmodpkg command.
# cmmodpkg -m on <package_name>
2. Perform the maintenance actions.
For example, you can change the configuration of the application instance or install an
application patch.
NOTE: You can ignore the errors or warnings in the package log file when the package is
set to maintenance mode.
3. Disable the maintenance mode for the package using the cmmodpkg command.
# cmmodpkg -m off <package_name>
NOTE: Ensure that an application instance is up and running before disabling the
maintenance mode.
