Managing Serviceguard Sixteenth Edition, March 2009

cmcheckconf -v -P /etc/cmcluster/pkg1/pkg1.conf
Errors are displayed on the standard output. If necessary, edit the file to correct any
errors, then run the command again until it completes without errors.
The following items are checked (whether you use Serviceguard Manager or
cmcheckconf command):
• Package name is valid, and at least one NODE_NAME entry is included.
• There are no duplicate parameter entries.
• Values for parameters are within permitted ranges.
• Run and halt scripts exist on all nodes in the cluster and are executable.
• Run and halt script timeouts are less than 4294 seconds.
• Configured resources are available on cluster nodes.
• If a dependency is configured, the dependency package must already be configured
in the cluster.
Distributing the Configuration
You can use Serviceguard Manager or HP-UX commands to distribute the binary cluster
configuration file among the nodes of the cluster.
DSAU (Distributed Systems Administration Utilities) can help you streamline your
distribution; see “What are the Distributed Systems Administration Utilities?” (page 34).
Distributing the Configuration And Control Script with Serviceguard Manager
When you have finished creating a legacy package in Serviceguard Manager, click
Apply Configuration. If the package control script has no errors, it is converted
to a binary file and distributed to the cluster nodes.
Copying Package Control Scripts with HP-UX commands
IMPORTANT: In a cross-subnet configuration, you cannot use the same package
control script on all nodes if the package uses relocatable IP addresses. See “Configuring
Cross-Subnet Failover” (page 347).
Use HP-UX commands to copy legacy package control scripts from the node where
you created the files, to the same pathname on all nodes which can possibly run the
package. Use your favorite method of file transfer (e. g., rcp or ftp). For example,
from ftsys9, you can run the rcp command to copy the package control script to
ftsys10 (all on one line):
rcp /etc/cmcluster/pkg1/control.sh
ftsys10:/etc/cmcluster/pkg1/control.sh
