Managing Serviceguard A.11.20, March 2013

Instead of restarting the cluster, choose an appropriate time to shut down the applications and
reboot the node; this will allow Serviceguard to restart the cluster after the reboot.
Disabling Serviceguard
If for some reason you want to disable Serviceguard on a system, you can do so by commenting
out the following entries in /etc/inetd.conf:
hacl-cfg dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/cmclconfd cmclconfd -p
hacl-cfg stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/cmclconfd cmclconfd -c
Then force inetd to re-read inetd.conf:
/usr/sbin/inetd -c
You can check that this did in fact disable Serviceguard by trying the following command:
cmquerycl -n nodename
where nodename is the name of the local system. If the command fails, you have successfully
disabled Serviceguard.
NOTE: You should not disable Serviceguard on a system on which it is actually running. If you
are not sure, you can get an indication by means of the command:
ps -e | grep cmclconfd
If there are cmclconfd processes running, it does not mean for certain that Serviceguard is running
on this system (cmclconfd could simply be handling UDP queries from a Serviceguard cluster on
the same subnet) but it does mean you should investigate further before disabling Serviceguard.
Removing Serviceguard from a System
To remove Serviceguard from a node, use the swremove command.
CAUTION: Remove the node from the cluster first. If you run the swremove command on a server
that is still a member of a cluster, it will cause that cluster to halt, and the cluster configuration to
be deleted.
To remove Serviceguard:
1. If the node is an active member of a cluster, halt the node.
2. If the node is included in a cluster configuration, remove the node from the configuration.
3. If you are removing Serviceguard from more than one node, issue swremove on one node
at a time.
