Configuring Packages and Their Services
Choosing Package Modules
Chapter 6 275
NOTE The following parameters cannot be configured for multi-node or system
multi-node packages:
• failover_policy
• failback_policy
• ip_subnet
• ip_address
Volume groups configured for packages of these types must be activated
in shared mode.
For more information about types of packages and how they work, see
“How the Package Manager Works” on page 71. For information on
planning a package, see “Package Configuration Planning” on page 165.
When you have decided on the type of package you want to create, the
next step is to decide what additional package-configuration modules you
need to include; see “Package Modules and Parameters” on page 275.
Package Modules and Parameters
The table that follows shows the package modules and the configuration
parameters each module includes. Read this section in conjunction with
the discussion under “Package Configuration Planning” on page 165.
Use this information, and the parameter explanations that follow
(page 281), to decide which modules (if any) you need to add to the
failover or multi-node module to create your package. If you are used to
creating legacy packages, you will notice that parameters from the
package control script (or their equivalents) are now in the package
configuration file; these parameters are marked (S) in the table.
NOTE If you are going to create a complex package that contains many
modules, you may want to skip the process of selecting modules, and
simply create a configuration file that contains all the modules:
cmmakepkg -m sg/all $SGCONF/sg-all
