Managing Serviceguard Eighteenth Edition, September 2010

New as of A.11.18 (for both modular and legacy packages). See also “About Package
Dependencies” (page 179).
script_log_file
The full pathname of the package’s log file. The default is
$SGRUN/log/<package_name>.log. (See “Where Serviceguard Files Are Kept”
(page 206) for more information about Serviceguard pathnames.) See also log_level
(page 292).
operation_sequence
Defines the order in which the scripts defined by the package’s component modules
will start up. See the package configuration file for details.
This parameter is not configurable; do not change the entries in the configuration file.
New for modular packages.
log_level
Determines the amount of information printed to stdout when the package is validated,
and to the script_log_file (page 292) when the package is started and halted. Valid values
are 0 through 5, but you should normally use only the first two (0 or 1); the remainder
(2 through 5) are intended for use by HP Support.
• 0 - informative messages
• 1 - informative messages with slightly more detail
• 2 - messages showing logic flow
• 3 - messages showing detailed data structure information
• 4 - detailed debugging information
• 5 - function call flow
New for modular packages.
failover_policy
Specifies how Serviceguard decides where to restart the package if it fails. Can be set
to configured_node, min_package_node, site_preferred, or
site_preferred_manual. The default is configured_node.
• configured_node means Serviceguard will attempt to restart the package on
the next available node in the list you provide under node_name (page 289).
• min_package_node means Serviceguard will restart a failed package on
whichever node in the node_name list has the fewest packages running at the time.
• site_preferred means Serviceguard will try all the eligible nodes on the local
SITE before failing the package over to a node on another SITE. This policy can
be configured only in a site-aware disaster-tolerant cluster, which requires
