Managing Serviceguard Seventeenth Edition, First Reprint December 2009

• FAILBACK_POLICY. For failover packages, enter the failback_policy (page 269).
• NODE_NAME. Enter the node or nodes on which the package can run; see
node_name (page 265).
• AUTO_RUN. Configure the package to start up automatically or manually; see
auto_run (page 265).
• LOCAL_LAN_FAILOVER_ALLOWED. Enter the policy for local_lan_failover_allowed
(page 272).
• NODE_FAIL_FAST_ENABLED. Enter the policy for node_fail_fast_enabled (page 266).
• RUN_SCRIPT and HALT_SCRIPT. Specify the pathname of the package control
script (described in the next section). No default is provided. Permissions on the
file and directory should be set to rwxr-xr-x or r-xr-xr-x (755 or 555).
(Script timeouts): Enter the run_script_timeout (page 266) and halt_script_timeout
(page 267).
SCRIPT_LOG_FILE. (optional). Specify the full pathname of the file where the
RUN_SCRIPT and HALT_SCRIPT will log messages. If you do not specify a path,
Serviceguard will create a file with “.log” appended to each script path, and put
the messages in that file.
• Enter the SUBNET or SUBNETs that are to be monitored for this package. They
can be IPv4 or an IPv6 subnets, but must not be link-local subnets (link-local
package IPs are not allowed).
IMPORTANT: Each subnet specified here must already be specified in the cluster
configuration file via the NETWORK_INTERFACE parameter and either the
HEARTBEAT_IP or STATIONARY_IP parameter. See “Cluster Configuration
Parameters ” (page 139) for more information.
See also “Stationary and Relocatable IP Addresses ” (page 90) and monitored_subnet
(page 272).
IMPORTANT: For cross-subnet configurations, see “Configuring Cross-Subnet
Failover” (page 348).
• If your package runs services, enter the SERVICE_NAME (page 275) and values
for SERVICE_FAIL_FAST_ENABLED (page 277) and
SERVICE_HALT_TIMEOUT(page 277). Enter a group of these three for each service.
IMPORTANT: Note that the rules for valid SERVICE_NAMEs are more restrictive
as of A.11.18.
• To configure monitoring for a registered resource, enter values for the following
parameters.
— RESOURCE_NAME
— RESOURCE_POLLING_INTERVAL
