4. Remove the disk group package from the cluster. This disassociates
the disk group from the cluster.
cfsdgadm delete <disk group>
Resetting the Service Restart Counter
The service restart counter is the number of times a package service has
been automatically restarted. This value is used to determine when the
package service has exceeded its maximum number of allowable
automatic restarts.
When a package service successfully restarts after several attempts, the
package manager does not automatically reset the restart count.
However, you may choose to reset the counter online using the cmmodpkg
-R -s command, thus enabling the service in future restart situations to
have the full number of restart attempts up to the configured
service_restart limit. For example:
cmmodpkg -R -s myservice pkg1
The current value of the restart counter may be seen in the output of the
cmviewcl -v command.
Allowable Package States During Reconfiguration
In many cases, you can make changes to a package’s configuration while
the package is running. The table that follows shows exceptions - cases in
which the package must not be running, or in which the results might
not be what you expect.
Parameters not listed in the table can be changed while the package is
running.
In all cases the cluster can be running, and packages other than the one
being reconfigured can be running. (And remember too that you can
make changes to package configuration files at any time; but do not
apply them (using cmapplyconf or Serviceguard Manager) to a running
package in the cases indicated by Table 7-2.)
