RUN_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT and HALT_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT
If the script has not completed by the specified timeout
value, Serviceguard will terminate the script. 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 a 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 value must be high enough to allow all of them
to finish the import or export.
STORAGE_GROUP 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.
NOTE Use the STORAGE_GROUP parameter for CVM storage
only (not for LVM or VxVM), and do not use it for CVM
disk groups in a cluster that uses the CFS file system.
