Managing Serviceguard Sixteenth Edition, March 2009

NOTE: If you do not include a base module (or default or all) on the cmmakepkg
command line, cmmakepkg will ignore the modules you specify and generate a default
configuration file containing all the parameters.
For a complex package, or if you are not yet sure which parameters you will need to
set, the default may be the best choice; see the first example below.
You can use the-v option with cmmakepkg to control how much information is
displayed online or included in the configuration file. Valid values are 0, 1 and 2. -v
0 removes all comments; -v 1 includes a brief heading for each parameter; -v 2 provides
a full description of each parameter. The default is level 2.
• To generate a configuration file that contains all the optional modules:
cmmakepkg $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf
• To create a generic failover package (that could be applied with out editing):
cmmakepkg -n pkg1 -m sg/failover $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf
• To generate a configuration file for a failover package that uses relocatable IP
addresses and runs an application that requires file systems to be mounted at run
time (enter the command all on one line):
cmmakepkg -m sg/failover -m sg/package_ip -m sg/service -m
sg/filesystem -m sg/volume_group $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf
• To generate a configuration file for a multi-node package that monitors cluster
resources (enter the command all on one line):
cmmakepkg -m sg/multi_node -m sg/resource
$SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf
• To generate a configuration file for a failover package that runs an application that
requires another package to be up (enter the command all on one line):
cmmakepkg -m sg/failover -m sg/dependency -m sg/service
$SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf
• To generate a configuration file adding the services module to an existing
package (enter the command all on one line):
cmmakepkg -i $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf -m sg/service
$SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1_v2.conf
NOTE: You can add more than one module at a time.
Next Step
The next step is to edit the configuration file you have generated; see “Editing the
Configuration File” (page 287).
