Adding the package to the cluster

After the setup is complete, add the package to the Serviceguard cluster and start it up.

$ cmapplyconf -P dgpkg.conf

$ cmmodpkg -e -n <node1> -n <node2> dgpkg

$ cmmodpkg -e dgpkg

For more information on adding a package to the cluster, see the “Managing HP Serviceguard”

document available at:

following procedure should be followed:

The toolkit maintenance feature is enabled only when the configuration variable

MAINTENANCE_FLAG is set to “yes” in the toolkit configuration file. Note that the toolkit

maintenance feature is different from the Serviceguard’s package maintenance feature.
