Step 5d: Creating a Modular Package Configuration File
Skip this step if you have an existing package configuration file.
If you do not already have a package configuration file, create a subdirectory evfs under the
/etc/cmcluster directory for the evfs package, and create the package configuration file using
the following cmmakepkg command:
# cmmakepkg -m evfs/evfs /etc/cmcluster/evfs/package_file_name.conf
For example, where new_evfs_pkg.conf is the ASCII file package created:
# cmmakepkg -m evfs/evfs /etc/cmcluster/evfs/new_evfs_pkg.conf
IMPORTANT: Additional changes must be made to the new package configuration file before
it can be used. For more information, see the Serviceguard product documentation
Continue to “Step 5g: Adding the EVFS Volumes to the Package Configuration File” (page 166).
Step 5e: Migrating a Legacy Package Configuration File
Skip this step if you have an existing modular package configuration file.
If you already have a package configuration file configured for legacy packages, migrate it to a
modular package configuration file.
IMPORTANT: To use the cmmigratepkg tool, you must install the following patches:
PHSS_37601 For Serviceguard on 11i v2 Update 2
PHSS_37602 For Serviceguard on 11i v3
Use the cmmigratepkg command to migrate a legacy package configuration file to a modular
package configuration as follows:
# cmmigratepkg –p pkg_name –o outputfile.conf
where:
pkg_name Specifies the package
outputfile.conf Specifies the file that contains the modular package configuration for
the package.
For example, where evfs_pkg.conf is the new modular package configuration file created:
# cmmigratepkg –p evfs –o /etc/cmcluster/evfs/evfs_pkg.conf
For more information on the cmmigratepkg tool, see the Serviceguard product documentation.
Step 5f: Adding the EVFS package to the Configuration File
Add the EVFS package to the modular package configuration file using the cmmakepkg command
as follows:
#cmmakepkg –i outputfile.conf –m evfs/evfs
/etc/cmcluster/pkg_name/new_outputfile.conf
where:
outputfile.conf Specifies the existing modular package configuration file
new_outputfile.conf Specifies the new package configuration file
For example, where my_mod_pkg.conf is the existing modular package configuration file, and
new_evfs_pkg.conf is the new modular package configuration file created:
# cmmakepkg –i /etc/cmcluster/evfs/my_mod_pkg.conf –m evfs/evfs
/etc/cmcluster/evfs/new_evfs_pkg.conf
