Managing Serviceguard 14th Edition, June 2007

Planning and Documenting an HA Cluster
Package Configuration Planning
Chapter 4 185
NOTE If the package halt function fails with “exit 1”,
Serviceguard does not halt the node, but sets
no_restart for the package, which disables package
switching (auto_run), thereby preventing the package
from starting on any adoptive node.
Possible values are yes and no. The default is no.
run_script_timeout and halt_script_timeout
The time allowed for package to start and halt,
respectively. If you specify a timeout value and package
startup or shutdown does not complete in that time,
Serviceguard will terminate the startup or shutdown
process. See page 283 for more information.
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 disk groups in your package,
the timeout value must be large enough to allow all of
them to finish the import or export.
successor_halt_timeout
How long, in seconds, Serviceguard will wait for
packages that depend on this package to halt, before
halting this package. Can be 0 through 4292, or
no_timeout.
More details in Chapter 6, under
successor_halt_timeout (see page 284). See also
“About Package Dependencies” on page 171.
