disk. For more information configuring this maintenance mode feature, see “Configuring the Maintenance Mode Feature for Recovery Groups in Continentalclusters” (page 63).

5.Use the cmcheckconf command to validate the package.

#cmcheckconf -P ccmonpkg.config

6.Copy the package configuration file ccmonpkg.config and control script ccmonpkg.cntl to the monitor package directory (default name /etc/cmcluster/ccmonpkg) on all the other nodes in the cluster. Make sure this file is executable.

7.Use the cmapplyconf command to add the package to the Serviceguard configuration.

#cmapplyconf -P ccmonpkg.config

The following sample package configuration file (comments have been left out) shows a typical package configuration for a Continentalclusters monitor package:

PACKAGE_NAME ccmonpkg

PACKAGE_TYPE FAILOVER

FAILOVER_POLICY CONFIGURED_NODE

FAILBACK_POLICY MANUAL

NODE_NAME LAnode1

NODE_NAME LAnode2

AUTO_RUN YES

LOCAL_LAN_FAILOVER_ALLOWED YES

NODE_FAIL_FAST_ENABLED NO

RUN_SCRIPT /etc/cmcluster/ccmonpkg/ccmonpkg.cntl

RUN_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT NO_TIMEOUT

HALT_SCRIPT /etc/cmcluster/ccmonpkg/ccmonpkg.cntl

HALT_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT NO_TIMEOUT

SERVICE_NAME ccmonpkg.srv

SERVICE_FAIL_FAST_ENABLED NO

SERVICE_HALT_TIMEOUT 300

CAUTION: Do not run a monitor package until the steps for “Checking and Applying the Continentalclusters Configuration” (page 88) are completed.

Configuring the Maintenance Mode Feature for Recovery Groups in Continentalclusters

To configure the recovery group maintenance feature, you need to configure a file system on a shared disk in all the clusters configured in the Continentalclusters. The shared disk must have a minimum of 250MB disk space.

Specify the file system path using the CONTINENTAL_CLUSTER_STATE_DIR parameter in the Continentalclusters configuration file. Create this directory and reserve it for Continentalclusters on all nodes in the Continentalclusters. Configure the monitor package in the recovery clusters to mount the file system from the shared disk.

Configuring Shared Disk for the Maintenance Feature

Identify a shared disk connected to all nodes at the recovery cluster where the monitor package (ccmonpkg) will run.

Create a volume group with one volume on the shared disk and complete the following procedure:

1.Create the physical volume: pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c0t10d0

2.Create volume group directory under the device special file namespace: mkdir /dev/ccvg

3.Create the group special file using the available major number: mknod /dev/ccvg/group c 64 0x060000
