Managing Serviceguard A.11.20, March 2013

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.
You can use cmmakepkg -l (letter “l”) to see a list of all available modules, including
non-Serviceguard modules such as those supplied in the HP Toolkits.
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
(The output will be written to $SGCONF/sg-all.)
Base Package Modules
At least one base module (or default or all, which include the base module) must be specified
on the cmmakepkg command line. Parameters marked with an asterisk (*) are new or changed
as of Serviceguard A.11.18 or A.11.19. (S) indicates that the parameter (or its equivalent) has
moved from the package control script to the package configuration file for modular packages.
See the “Package Parameter Explanations” (page 237) for more information.
