Table 10 Variables in hadb2.conf File (continued)

Variable Name

Description

MONITOR_PROCESSES

This is the list of critical processes of a DB2 instance.

 

NOTE: These processes must not be running after DB2 is shutdown. If the

 

processes are still running they will be killed by sending a SIGKILL.

MAINTENANCE_FLAG

This variable will enable or disable maintenance mode for DB2 package. By

 

default, this is set to "yes". In order to disable this feature MAINTENANCE_FLAG

 

should be set to "no". When DB2 Database needs to be maintained then a

 

file "<package directory>/db2.debug" needs to be touched. During this

 

maintenance period DB2 database instance's process monitoring is paused.

 

Even if DB2 instance is brought down, package will not be failed over to the

 

standby node. To continue monitoring and come out of the maintenance mode,

 

you should remove the file "db2.debug" from the package configuration

 

directory. It is user's responsibility to ensure that db2 instance is properly

 

running after the maintenance phase.

 

NOTE: Setting MAINTENANCE_FLAG to "yes" and touching the db2.debug

 

file in the package directory will put the package in toolkit maintenance mode.

 

Serviceguard A.11.19 release has a new feature which allows individual

 

components of the package to be maintained while the package is still up.

 

This feature is called Package Maintenance mode and is available only for

 

modular packages. For more information on using Package Maintenance

 

mode, see the whitepaper "Modular package support in Serviceguard for

 

Linux and ECM Toolkits" available at http://www.hp.com/go/

 

hpux-SG-ECMT-docs.

MONITOR_INTERVAL

The time interval in seconds between the checks to ensure that the DB2

 

database is running. Default value is 30 seconds.

TIME_OUT

The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for the DB2 shutdown to complete

 

before killing the DB2 processes defined in MONITOR_PROCESSES. The

 

TIME_OUT variable is used to protect against a worst case scenario where a

 

hung database prevents the package halt script from completing, thereby

 

preventing the standby node from starting the database. The value of

 

TIME_OUT must be less than the HALT_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT value set in the

 

package configuration file. This variable has no effect on the package failover

 

times.

The following ADF file and scripts are used only during the modular method of packaging. Table 11 Modular Package Scripts

Script Name

Description

Attribute Definition File (db2)

For every parameter, in the legacy toolkit user configuration file, there is an

 

attribute in the ADF. It also has an additional attribute TKIT_DIR which is

 

analogous to the package directory in the legacy method of packaging. The

 

ADF is used to generate the package ASCII template file.

Module Script (tkit_module.sh)

This script is called by the Master Control Script and acts as an interface

 

between the Master Control Script and the Toolkit interface script (toolkit.sh).

 

It is responsible for calling the Toolkit Configuration File Generator Script.

Toolkit Configuration File Generator

This script is called by the Module Script when the package configuration is

Script (tkit_gen.sh)

applied using cmapplyconf command to generate the toolkit user

 

configuration file in the package directory (TKIT_DIR).

DB2 Package Configuration Example

Assuming DB2 is already installed.
