Managing Serviceguard 13th Edition, February 2007

Configuring Packages and Their Services
Creating the Package Configuration
Chapter 6 271
NOTE On systems that support VERITAS Cluster File System (CFS) and
Cluster Volume Manager (CVM), do not create or edit ASCII
configuration files for the Serviceguard supplied packages
VxVM-CVM-pkg, SG-CFS-pkg, SG-CFS-DG-id#, or SG-CFS-MP-id#
Create VxVM-CVM-pkg and SG-CFS-pkg by issuing the cmapplyconf
command. Create and modify SG-CFS-DG-id# and SG-CFS-MP-id#
using the cfs commands listed in Appendix A.
• FAILOVER_POLICY. Enter CONFIGURED_NODE if you want
Serviceguard to attempt to start (or restart) the package in the order
nodes are listed. Enter MIN_PACKAGE_NODE if you want Serviceguard
to restart a failed package on whichever node has the least packages
running at the time. (Failover type packages only.)
• FAILBACK_POLICY. If a package’s primary node fails, enter
AUTOMATIC if you want Serviceguard to automatically fail the
package back to the primary node as soon as the primary node is
running again. Enter MANUAL if you do not want Serviceguard to
move the package back. (Failover packages only.)
• NODE_NAME. Enter the name of each node in the cluster on a separate
line. For all cluster nodes, use the “*” wildcard. (For system
multi-node packages, you must specify NODE_NAME *.)
• AUTO_RUN. For failover packages, enter YES to allow Serviceguard to
start the package on the first available node, and to automatically
restart it later if it fails. Enter NO to keep Serviceguard from
automatically starting the package. (For system multi-node
packages, you must enter YES.)
• LOCAL_LAN_FAILOVER_ALLOWED. Enter YES to permit switching of the
package IP address to a standby LAN, or NO to keep the package
address from switching locally. (Must be NO for multi-node and
system multi-node packages.)
• NODE_FAIL_FAST_ENABLED. If you enter YES, a node will be halted
with a TOC any time a package fails on that node. This prevents
Serviceguard from repeatedly trying (and failing) to start a package
on that node. For system multi-node packages, this must be set to
YES.
