Managing Serviceguard Seventeenth Edition, First Reprint December 2009

• If your package will use relocatable IP addresses, enter the ip_subnet and ip_address
addresses. See the parameter descriptions (page 274) for rules and restrictions.
In a cross-subnet configuration, configure the additional ip_subnet_node parameter
for each ip_subnet as necessary; see “About Cross-Subnet Failover” (page 190) for
more information.
• For each service the package will run, enter values for the following parameters
(page 275):
— service_name (for example, a daemon or long-running process)
— service_cmd (for example, the command that starts the process)
— service_fail_fast_enabled and service_halt_timeout if you need to change them from
their defaults.
— service_restart if you want the package to restart the service if it exits. (A value
of unlimited can be useful if you want the service to execute in a loop, rather
than exit and halt the package.)
• To configure the package to monitor a registered EMS resource, enter values for
the following parameters (page 278):
— resource_name
— resource_polling_interval
— resource_up_value
— resource_start
See “Parameters for Configuring EMS Resources” (page 167) for more information
and an example.
• If the package needs to mount LVM volumes to filesystems, use the vg parameters
(page 281) to specify the names of the volume groups to be activated, select the
appropriate vgchange_cmd, and use the fs_ options in the FILESYSTEMS portion
of the configuration file to specify the options for mounting and unmounting the
filesystems. Do not use the vxvm_dg or cvm_dg parameters for LVM volume groups.
Enter each volume group on a separate line, for example:
vg vg01
vg vg02
• If you are using CVM disk group for raw storage (without CFS), use cvm_dg
parameters (page 281) to specify the names of the disk groups to be activated, select
the appropriate cvm_activation_cmd, and create a dependency (page 269) on
SG_CFS_pkg. See “Creating the Storage Infrastructure with Veritas Cluster Volume
Manager (CVM)” (page 244).
Do not use the vxvm_dg or vg parameters for CVM disk groups.
Do not include CFS-based disk groups in the package configuration file; they are
activated by the CFS multi-node packages before standard packages are started.
