Managing HP Serviceguard for Linux Ninth Edition, April 2009

user_name
Specifies the name of a user who has permission to administer this package. See also
user_host (page 212) and user_role; these three parameters together define the access
control policy for this package (see “Controlling Access to the Cluster” (page 176)).
These parameters must be defined in this order: user_name, user_host, user_role.
Legal values for user_name are any_user or a maximum of eight login names from
/etc/passwd on user_host.
NOTE: Be careful to spell any_user exactly as given; otherwise Serviceguard will
interpret it as a user name.
Note that the only user_role that can be granted in the package configuration file is
package_admin for this particular package; you grant other roles in the cluster
configuration file. See “Setting up Access-Control Policies” (page 178) for further
discussion and examples.
user_role
Must be package_admin, allowing the user access to the cmrunpkg, cmhaltpkg,
and cmmodpkg commands (and the equivalent functions in Serviceguard Manager)
and to the monitor role for the cluster. See “Controlling Access to the Cluster”
(page 176) for more information.
Additional Parameters Used Only by Legacy Packages
IMPORTANT: The following parameters are used only by legacy packages. Do not
try to use them in modular packages. See “Creating the Legacy Package Configuration
” (page 252) for more information.
PATH Specifies the path to be used by the script.
SUBNET Specifies the IP subnets that are to be monitored
for the package.
RUN_SCRIPTand HALT_SCRIPT Use the full pathname of each script.
These two parameters allow you to separate
package run instructions and package halt
instructions for legacy packages into separate
scripts if you need to. In this case, make sure you
include identical configuration information (such
as node names, IP addresses, etc.) in both scripts.
In most cases, though, HP recommends that you
use the same script for both run and halt
instructions. (When the package starts, the script
