Using Serviceguard commands
To create a VM or vPar package:
1. Create a directory name matching the VM or vPar name in /etc/cmcluster,
for example, /etc/cmcluster/<vm/vPar_name>.
2. cd /etc/cmcluster/<vm/vPar_name>.
3. Create VM or vPar package. Run the following command:
• To create a VM package, run the following command:
cmmakepkg –m tkit/vtn/vtn –n <vm_name> pkg.conf
<vm_name> is the name of the VM package. VM name and the package name must be
the same.
• To create a vPar package, run the following command:
cmmakepkg –m tkit/vtn/vpar –n <vpar_name> pkg.conf
<vpar_name>is the name of the vPar package. vPar name and the package name must
be the same.
where,
• cmmakepkg is the Serviceguard command to create the package.
• tkit/vtn/vtn is the name of the VM module.
• tkit/vtn/vpar is the name of the vPar module.
• pkg.conf is the name of the package configuration file.
