RESOURCE_UP_VALUE. The Resource Up Value appears
on the “Description of selected EMS resources” list
provided in Serviceguard Manager’s EMS Browse
button, or you can obtain it from the documentation
supplied with the resource monitor.
You can configure a total of 15 Resource Up Values per
package. For example, if there is only one resource in
the package, then a maximum of 15 Resource Up
Values can be defined. If there are two Resource
Names defined and one of them has 10 Resource Up
Values, then the other Resource Name can have only 5
Resource Up Values.
The maximum length of the Resource Up Value string
is 1024 characters.
Access control policies You can configure package administration
access for this package. Be sure the policy is not
conflicting or redundant to an access policy defined in
the cluster configuration file. For more information, see
“Editing Security Files” on page 190.
SCRIPT_LOG_FILE The script log file documents the package run and
halt activities. The default location is
/etc/cmcluster/pkgname/control_script.log. To
specify another location, put the full pathname here.
DEPENDENCIES Starting in Serviceguard A.11.17, a package can have
dependencies on other packages. The package will not
start on a node unless its dependencies are met on that
node.
At the release of Serviceguard A.11.17, dependencies
are only supported for use with certain applications
specified by HP, such as with the multi-node and
system multi-node packages that HP supplies for use
with VERITAS Cluster File System.
