Table 14 Types of Changes to Packages (continued)
Required Package StateChange to the Package

modular package
Package can be running. See “Choosing Switching and Failover Behavior”
(page 127).
Change package auto_run
Both packages can be either running or halted.Add or delete a configured
dependency
Special rules apply to packages in maintenance mode; see “Dependency Rules
for a Package in Maintenance Mode or Partial-Startup Maintenance Mode ”
(page 276).
For dependency purposes, a package being reconfigured is considered to be
UP. This means that if pkgA depends on pkgB, and pkgA is down and pkgB is
being reconfigured, pkgA will run if it becomes eligible to do so, even if pkgB's
reconfiguration is not yet complete.
HP recommends that you separate package dependency changes from changes
that affect resources and services that the newly dependent package will also
depend on; reconfigure the resources and services first and apply the changes,
then configure the package dependency.
For more information see “About Package Dependencies” (page 128).
The SG-CFS-pkg package must be running, before a modular CFS package can
be started. For information on modular CFS packages, see “Creating Modular
Disk Group and Mount Point Packages” (page 196).
Add CFS packages
For legacy style packages, before you can add an SG-CFS-DG-id# disk group
package, the SG-CFS-pkg Cluster File System package must be up and running.
Before you can add an SG-MP-id# mount point package to a node, the
SG-DG-id# disk group package must be up and running on that node.
Package can be running. See “Creating Modular Disk Group and Mount Point
Packages” (page 196).

cause the package to fail.
