Configuring Packages and Their Services
Choosing Package Modules
Chapter 6 291
service_halt_timeout The length of time, in seconds, Serviceguard
will wait for the service to halt before forcing termination of the service’s
process.
The value should be large enough to allow any cleanup required by the
service to complete.
Legal values are none, unlimited, or any number greater than zero.
unlimited means Serviceguard will never force the process to terminate.
The default is none, meaning that Serviceguard will not wait any time
before terminating the process.
resource_name Specifies the name of a resource to be monitored.
resource_name, in conjunction with resource_polling_interval,
resource_start and resource_up_value, defines an Event Monitoring
Service (EMS) dependency.
In legacy packages, RESOURCE_NAME in the package configuration file
requires a corresponding DEFERRED_RESOURCE_NAME in the package
control script.
See “Parameters for Configuring EMS Resources” on page 170 for more
information and examples.
resource_polling_interval How often, in seconds, the resource
identified by resource_name (see page 291) is to be monitored. Default
is 60 seconds.
resource_start Specifies when Serviceguard will begin monitoring the
resource identified by resource_name. Valid values are automatic and
deferred.
automatic means Serviceguard will begin monitoring the resource as
soon as the node comes up. deferred means Serviceguard will begin
monitoring the resource when the package starts.
resource_up_value Defines the conditions used to determine whether
the resource identified by resource_name is up. Requires an operator
and a value. Values can be string or numeric.The legal operators are =,
!=, >, <, >=, or <=, depending on the type of value. If the type is string,
then only = and != are valid. If the string contains white space, it must
be enclosed in quotes. String values are case-sensitive.
