• You can perform maintenance on the running package.
This is chiefly useful for making networking and EMS changes.
• You can halt the package and start it again in partial start-up maintenance mode,
in which you start up some modules, not others, and perform maintenance on the
modules you have not started.
This is useful for performing maintenance on package services, file systems, and
volume groups.
For more information, rules, and instructions see “Maintaining a Package” in Chapter
7 of the latest version of Managing Serviceguard, which you can find at the address given
under “Documents for This Version ” (page 47).
Other Package Changes
NOTE: For information about legacy and modular packages, see Chapter 6 of Managing
Serviceguard.
Serviceguard A.11.19 adds the following package features not discussed elsewhere in
these Release Notes:
• A new multi_node_all module includes all the parameters that can be
configured for multi-node packages.
• A new package_description parameter allows you to indicate what application the
package runs.
See “Package Modules and Parameters” in Chapter 6 of Managing Serviceguard for more
information.
cmappmgr
cmappmgr is an utility that allows you launch and monitor processes on HP Virtual
Machine (HPVM) guest nodes. For information about HPVM, See “Support for HP
Integrity Virtual Machines (HPVM)” (page 45).
cmappmgr is operating-system-independent, supporting HP-UX, Linux, and Windows
VMs.
cmappmgr on the host communicates via SSL connections with a lightweight module
on the VM guest, cmappserver. cmappmgr exits when the process that is being
monitored does. It can be run as a service in a Serviceguard package, or invoked from
an external script in a modular package or from a run and halt script in a legacy package.
(See Chapter 6 of Managing Serviceguard for information about modular and legacy
packages.)
cmappmgr is packaged as a Serviceguard command. cmappserver is packaged as a
depot, rpm, or exe (for HP-UX, Linux, or Windows respectively) which can be copied
from the host to a VM guest and installed there.
