dependency_name pkg2dep
dependency_condition pkg2 = UP
dependency_location same_node
For more information about package dependencies, see “About Package
Dependencies” on page 178.
dependency_condition The condition that must be met for this
dependency to be satisfied. As of Serviceguard A.11.18, the only
condition that can be set is that another package must be running.
The syntax is: <package_name> = UP, where <package_name> is the
name of the package depended on. The type and characteristics of the
current package (the one we are configuring) impose the following
restrictions on the type of package it can depend on:
• If the current package is a multi-node package, <package_name>
must identify a multi-node or system multi-node package.
• If the current package is a failover package and min_package_node
is its failover_policy (see page 292), <package_name> must
identify a multi-node or system multi-node package.
• If the current package is a failover package and configured_node is
its failover_policy, <package_name> must identify a multi-node
or system multi-node package, or a failover package whose
failover_policy is configured_node.
See also “About Package Dependencies” on page 178.
dependency_location Specifies where the dependency_condition
(see page 294) must be met. The only legal value is same_node.
local_lan_failover_allowed Specifies whether or not Serviceguard
can transfer the package IP address to a standby LAN card in the event
of a LAN card failure on a cluster node.
Legal values are yes and no. Default is yes.
monitored_subnet A LAN subnet that is to be monitored for this
package. Replaces legacy SUBNET which is still supported in the package
configuration file for legacy packages; see “Configuring a Legacy
Package” on page 377.
You can specify multiple subnets; use a separate line for each.
