• Update the PATH statement to reflect any required paths needed to
start your services.
• If you are using LVM, enter the names of volume groups to be
activated using the VG[] array parameters, and select the
appropriate options for the storage activation command, including
options for mounting and unmounting filesystems, if desired. Do not
use the VXVM_DG[] or CVM_DG[] parameters for LVM volume groups.
• If you are using CVM, enter the names of disk groups to be activated
using the CVM_DG[] array parameters, and select the appropriate
storage activation command, CVM_ACTIVATION_CMD. Do not use the
VG[] or VXVM_DG[] parameters for CVM disk groups.
• If you are using VxVM disk groups without CVM, enter the names of
VxVM disk groups that will be imported using the VXVM_DG[] array
parameters. Enter one disk group per array element. Configure
vxvm_dg_retry (see page 303) if necessary. Do not use the
CVM_DG[] or VG[] parameters for VxVM disk groups without CVM,
and do not specify an activation command.
Do not include CFS-based disk groups in the package control script;
on systems that support CFS and CVM, they are activated by the
CFS multi-node packages before standard packages are started.
• If you are using mirrored VxVM disks, specify the mirror recovery
option VXVOL.
• Add the names of logical volumes and the file system that will be
mounted on them.
• Select the appropriate options for the storage activation command
(not applicable for basic VxVM disk groups), and also include options
for mounting filesystems, if desired.
• Specify the filesystem mount and unmount retry options.
• If your package uses a large number of volume groups or disk groups
or mounts a large number of file systems, consider increasing the
number of concurrent vgchange, mount/umount, and fsck operations;
• Define IP subnet and IP address pairs for your package. IPv4 or IPv6
addresses are allowed.
• Add service name(s).
• Add service command(s)
• Add a service restart parameter, if you so decide.
