Managing Serviceguard 14th Edition, June 2007

Planning and Documenting an HA Cluster
Package Configuration Planning
Chapter 4 189
If the parameter is set to yes, and the service fails,
Serviceguard will halt the node on which the service is
running (HP-UX system reset). (An attempt is made to
reboot the node first.) The default is no.
service_halt_timeout
In the event of a service halt, Serviceguard will first
send out a SIGTERM signal to terminate the service. If
the process does not terminate, Serviceguard will wait
for the specified timeout before sending out a SIGKILL
signal to force termination.
Define one service_halt_timeout entry for each
service. If you do not provide a value, Serviceguard will
not allow any timeout (0 seconds). The maximum value
is restricted only by the HP-UX parameter ULONG_MAX,
for an absolute limit of 4,294 seconds.
resource_name The name of an Event Monitoring Service resource that
is to be monitored by Serviceguard as a package
dependency.
For each resource_name, specify a
resource_polling_interval, a resource_start
value, and one or more resource_up_values. See the
entries that follow, and “Parameters for Configuring
EMS Resources” on page 170.
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, in seconds, with which a configured
package resource is monitored.
