Configuring a Legacy Package
Chapter 7 379
Configuring a Package in Stages It is a good idea to configure
failover packages in stages, as follows:
1. Configure volume groups and mount points only.
2. Distribute the control script to all nodes.
3. Apply the configuration.
4. Run the package and ensure that it can be moved from node to node.
5. Halt the package.
6. Configure package IP addresses and application services in the
control script.
7. Distribute the control script to all nodes.
8. Run the package and ensure that applications run as expected and
that the package fails over correctly when services are disrupted.
