SUBNET Enter the IP subnets that are to be monitored for the
package.
PACKAGE_TYPE The type of the package. This parameter indicates
whether the package will run on one node at a time or
on multiple nodes. Valid types are FAILOVER,
MULTI_NODE, and SYSTEM_MULTI_NODE. Default is
FAILOVER.
You cannot create a user-defined package with a type of
SYSTEM_MULTI_NODE or MULTI-NODE. They are only
supported for specific purposes designed by HP.
HP recommends that you do not create the VERITAS
Cluster File System packages (if supported) by editing
the ASCII configuration template; use the CFS
administration commands in Appendix A.
RESOURCE_NAME The name of an Event Monitoring Service resource that
is to be monitored by Serviceguard as a package
dependency.
You can find a list of resources in Serviceguard
Manager (Configuration -> Create Package ->
Monitored Resources -> Available EMS
resources), or in the documentation supplied with the
resource monitor.
A maximum of 60 EMS resources can be defined per
cluster. Note also the limit on RESOURCE_UP_VALUE
described below.
Maximum length of the resource name string is 1024
characters.
RESOURCE POLLING INTERVAL
The frequency with which a configured package
resource is monitored.
Default is 60 seconds. The minimum value is 1. (There
is no practical maximum.).
RESOURCE_START An attribute of a resource that determines whether it
should start up before or after the package starts.
