values for dependency_name, dependency_condition,
dependency_location, and optionally priority.

information.
NOTE The package(s) this package depends on must already be part of the
cluster configuration by the time you validate this package (via
cmcheckconf (1m); see “Verifying and Applying the Package
Configuration” on page 320); otherwise validation will fail.
• local_lan_failover_allowed. Enter yes to permit switching of the
package IP address to a standby LAN card on the local node, or no to
keep the package address from switching locally.
For multi-node packages, you must enter no.
•Use the monitored_subnet parameter to specify a subnet that is to
be monitored for this package. If there are multiple subnets, repeat
the parameter as many times as needed, on a new line each time.
