HP Serviceguard manual Cmmakepkg $SGCONF/sg-all

NOTE: For more information, see the comments in the editable configuration file output by the cmmakepkg command, and the cmmakepkg manpage.

If you are going to browse these explanations deciding which parameters you need, you may want to generate and print out a configuration file that has the comments for all of the parameters; you can create such a file as follows:

cmmakepkg -m sg/all $SGCONF/sg-all

or simply

cmmakepkg $SGCONF/sg-all

This creates a file /etc/cmcluster/sg-allthat contains all the parameters and comments.

More detailed instructions for running cmmakepkg are in the next section, “Generating the Package Configuration File” (page 254). See also “Package Configuration Planning ” (page 125).

package_name

Any name, up to a maximum of 39 characters, that:

•starts and ends with an alphanumeric character

•otherwise contains only alphanumeric characters or dot (.), dash (-), or underscore (_)

•is unique among package names in this cluster

IMPORTANT: Restrictions on package names in previous Serviceguard releases were less stringent. Packages whose names do not conform to the above rules will continue to run, but if you reconfigure them, you will need to change the name; cmcheckconf and cmapplyconf will enforce the new rules.

module_name

The module name (for example, failover, service, etc.) Do not change it. Used in the form of a relative path (for example sg/failover) as a parameter to cmmakepkg to specify modules to be used in configuring the package. (The files reside in the $SGCONF/modules directory; see “Where Serviceguard Files Are Kept” (page 158) for an explanation of Serviceguard directories.)

New for modular packages.

module_version

The module version. Do not change it.

New for modular packages.

package_type

The type can be failover, multi_node, or system_multi_node. Default is failover. You can configure only failover or multi-node packages; see “Types of Package: Failover, Multi-Node, System Multi-Node” (page 228).

Packages of one type cannot include the base module for another; for example, if package_type is failover, the package cannot include the multi_node, or system_multi_node module.

package_description

The application that the package runs. This is a descriptive parameter that can be set to any value you choose, up to a maximum of 80 characters. Default value is Serviceguard Package. New for 11.19
