Planning and Documenting an HA Cluster

selected as the Package Failover Policy, the primary
node is now running fewer packages than the current
node.
See also “About Package Dependencies” on page 171.
priority Assigns a priority to the package. Used to decide
whether a package can “drag” another package it
depends on to another node. See “About Package
Dependencies” on page 171.
Valid values are 1 through 3000, or no_priority. The
default is no_priority.
If you assign a priority, it must be unique in this
cluster. A lower number indicates a higher priority.
It is a good idea to assign values in increments of 20 so
as to leave gaps in the sequence; otherwise you may
have to shuffle all the existing priorities when
assigning priority to a new package.
More details in Chapter 6, under priority (see page
286).

local_lan_failover_allowed
Valid values are yes or no. In the event of a LAN card
failure, yes permits Serviceguard to transfer the
package IP address to a standby LAN card. The default
is yes.
monitored_subnet
Specifies the IP subnets that are to be monitored for
the package.
