Creating a Package for the Quorum Server
You can run the Quorum Server as a package in another cluster.
NOTE: The instructions and examples in this section are for creating a legacy package. Such
packages are supported with all currently-supported versions of Serviceguard. For information on
creating a modular package, supported as of Serviceguard A.11.18, see Chapter 6 of the latest
version of Managing Serviceguard at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs—>
HP Serviceguard.
To configure the Quorum Server into a package with Quorum Server as the monitored service,
do the following.
NOTE: If you have just installed the quorum server, or if you are adding new cluster nodes, or
implementing the alternate-subnet functionality, you must update the authorization file before you
run the package; see “Creating and Updating the Authorization File” (page 18).
1. Install the Quorum Server software on all nodes; see “Installing the Quorum Server” (page 10).
2. In the configuration directory ($SGCONF), create a subdirectory for the Quorum Server package,
then change your working directory to it:
mkdir qs-pkg
cd qs-pkg
3. Create a package configuration file:
cmmakepkg -P qs-pkg.config
4. Edit the parameter values in the file as follows.
