Managing Serviceguard A.11.20, March 2013

• To generate a configuration file adding the services module to an existing package (enter
the command all on one line):
cmmakepkg -i $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf -m sg/service
$SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1_v2.conf
• To generate a configuration file adding the Persistent Reservation module to an existing
package:
cmmakepkg -i $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf -m sg/pr_cntl
NOTE: You can add more than one module at a time.
Next Step
The next step is to edit the configuration file you have generated; see “Editing the Configuration
File” (page 259).
Editing the Configuration File
When you have generated the configuration file that contains the modules your package needs
(see “Generating the Package Configuration File” (page 258)), you need to edit the file to set the
package parameters to the values that will make the package function as you intend.
IMPORTANT: Do not edit the package configuration file of a Veritas Cluster Volume Manager
(CVM) or Cluster File System (CFS) multi-node or system multi-node package.
Create SG-CFS-pkg by means of the cmapplyconf command. Create and modify
SG-CFS-DG-id# and SG-CFS-MP-id# using cfs* commands.
It is a good idea to configure complex failover packages in stages, as follows:
1. Configure volume groups and mount points only.
2. Check and apply the configuration; see “Verifying and Applying the Package Configuration”
(page 263).
3. Run the package and ensure that it can be moved from node to node.
NOTE: cmcheckconf and cmapplyconf check for missing mount points, volume groups,
etc.
4. Halt the package.
5. Configure package IP addresses and application services.
6. Run the package and ensure that applications run as expected and that the package fails over
correctly when services are disrupted. See “Testing the Package Manager ” (page 327).
Use the following bullet points as a checklist, referring to the “Package Parameter Explanations”
(page 237), and the comments in the configuration file itself, for detailed specifications for each
parameter.
