Configuring Packages and Their Services
Creating the Package Configuration
Chapter 6 255
There must be no redundancy or conflict in roles. If there is,
configuration will fail and you will get a message. It is a good idea,
therefore, to look at the cluster configuration file (cmgetconf) before
creating any roles in the package’s file.
If a role is configured in the cluster, do not configure a role for the same
username/hostnode in the package. The exception is wildcards. For
example, if there were a MONITOR role for ANY_USER from ftsys9 in
the cluster configuration, and you created an ADMIN role for user Lee
from ftsys9 in the package configuration file, user ftsys9 would have
role of package admin for this policy. (This role already includes monitor
for the entire cluster.)
Data about Access Control Policies in the package configuration files and
the cluster configuration file are later combined in the binary cluster
configuration file.
Adding or Removing Packages on a Running Cluster
You can add or remove packages while the cluster is running, subject to
the limit of MAX_CONFIGURED_PACKAGES. To add or remove packages
online, refer to the chapter on “Cluster and Package Maintenance.”
