Package Configuration Template File
The following is a sample package configuration file template customized
for a typical package. Edit this file for failover packages.
NOTE On systems that support VERITAS Cluster Volume Manager (CVM) and
Cluster File System (CFS), HP strongly recommends that you never edit
the package configuration file of a CVM/CFS multi-node or system
multi-node package, although Serviceguard does not prohibit it.
Use the information on the Package Configuration worksheet to
complete the file. Refer also to the comments on the configuration
template for additional explanation of each parameter. You may include
the following information:
