HP Serviceguard A.11.20- Managing Serviceguard Twentieth Edition, August 2011

Verifying the Package Configuration
Serviceguard checks the configuration you create and reports any errors.
For legacy packages, you can do this in Serviceguard Manager: click Check to verify the package
configuration you have done under any package configuration tab, or to check changes you have
made to the control script. Click Apply to verify the package as a whole. See the local Help for
more details.
If you are using the command line, use the following command to verify the content of the package
configuration you have created:
cmcheckconf -v -P /etc/cmcluster/pkg1/pkg1.conf
Errors are displayed on the standard output. If necessary, edit the file to correct any errors, then
run the command again until it completes without errors.
The following items are checked (whether you use Serviceguard Manager or cmcheckconf
command):
• Package name is valid, and at least one NODE_NAME entry is included.
• There are no duplicate parameter entries.
• Values for parameters are within permitted ranges.
• Run and halt scripts exist on all nodes in the cluster and are executable.
• Run and halt script timeouts are less than 4294 seconds.
• Configured resources are available on cluster nodes.
• If a dependency is configured, the dependency package must already be configured in the
cluster.
Distributing the Configuration
You can use Serviceguard Manager or HP-UX commands to distribute the binary cluster configuration
file among the nodes of the cluster.
DSAU (Distributed Systems Administration Utilities) can help you streamline your distribution; see
“What are the Distributed Systems Administration Utilities?” (page 25).
Distributing the Configuration And Control Script with Serviceguard Manager
When you have finished creating a legacy package in Serviceguard Manager, click Apply
Configuration. If the package control script has no errors, it is converted to a binary file and
distributed to the cluster nodes.
Copying Package Control Scripts with HP-UX commands
IMPORTANT: In a cross-subnet configuration, you cannot use the same package control script
on all nodes if the package uses relocatable IP addresses. See “Configuring Cross-Subnet Failover”
(page 309).
Use HP-UX commands to copy legacy package control scripts from the node where you created
the files, to the same pathname on all nodes which can possibly run the package. Use your favorite
method of file transfer (e. g., rcp or ftp). For example, from ftsys9, you can run the rcp
command to copy the package control script to ftsys10 (all on one line):
rcp /etc/cmcluster/pkg1/control.sh
ftsys10:/etc/cmcluster/pkg1/control.sh
