Managing Serviceguard Eighteenth Edition, September 2010

• If this package will depend on another package or packages, enter values for
dependency_name, (page 294)dependency_condition, dependency_location, and optionally
priority.
See “About Package Dependencies” (page 179) for more information.
NOTE: The package(s) this package depends on must already be part of the
cluster configuration by the time you validate this package (via cmcheckconf(1m);
see “Verifying and Applying the Package Configuration” (page 317)); otherwise
validation will fail.
• To configure package weights, use the weight_name and weight_value parameters
(page 295). See “About Package Weights” (page 187) for more information.
• local_lan_failover_allowed. Enter yes to permit switching of the package IP address
to a standby LAN card on the local node, or no to keep the package address from
switching locally.
For multi-node packages, you must enter no.
• Use the monitored_subnet parameter to specify a subnet that is to be monitored for
this package. If there are multiple subnets, repeat the parameter as many times as
needed, on a new line each time.
In a cross-subnet configuration, configure the additional monitored_subnet_access
parameter for each monitored_subnet as necessary; see “About Cross-Subnet
Failover” (page 201) for more information.
• If this is a Serviceguard Extension for Oracle RAC (SGeRAC) installation, you can
use the cluster_interconnect_subnet parameter(page 297).
• If your package will use relocatable IP addresses, enter the ip_subnet and ip_address
addresses. See the parameter descriptions (page 298) for rules and restrictions.
In a cross-subnet configuration, configure the additional ip_subnet_node parameter
for each ip_subnet as necessary; see “About Cross-Subnet Failover” (page 201) for
more information.
• For each service the package will run, enter values for the following parameters
(page 299):
— service_name (for example, a daemon or long-running process)
— service_cmd (for example, the command that starts the process)
— service_fail_fast_enabled and service_halt_timeout if you need to change them from
their defaults.
— service_restart if you want the package to restart the service if it exits. (A value
of unlimited can be useful if you want the service to execute in a loop, rather
than exit and halt the package.)
