Managing Serviceguard 12th Edition, March 2006

Planning and Documenting an HA Cluster
Package Configuration Planning
Chapter 4174
Run script timeout and Halt script timeout If the script has not
completed by the specified timeout value, Serviceguard
will terminate the script. In the ASCII configuration
file, these parameters are RUN_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT and
HALT_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT. Enter a value in seconds.
The default is 0, or no timeout. The minimum is 10
seconds, but the minimum HALT_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT
value must be greater than the sum of all the Service
Halt Timeout values. The absolute maximum value is
restricted only by the HP-UX parameter ULONG_MAX,
for an absolute limit of 4,294 seconds.
If the timeout is exceeded:
• Control of the package will not be transferred.
• The run or halt instructions will not be run.
• Global switching will be disabled.
• The current node will be disabled from running the
package.
• The control script will exit with status 1.
If the halt script timeout occurs, you may need to
perform manual cleanup. See “Package Control Script
Hangs or Failures” in Chapter 8.
NOTE VxVM disk groups are imported at package run time
and exported at package halt time. If you are using a
large number of VxVM disks in your package, the
timeout must be high enough to allow all of them to
finish the import or export.
CVM diskgroups This parameter is used for CVM disk groups that do
not use VERITAS Cluster File System. Enter the
names of all the CVM disk groups the package will use.
In the ASCII package configuration file, this parameter
is called STORAGE_GROUP.
