modules. This file will consist of a base module (failover, multi-node or system multi-node) plus the
modules that contain the additional parameters you have decided to include.
6.2.1 Before You Start
Before you start building a package, create a subdirectory for it in the $SGCONF directory, for
example:
mkdir $SGCONF/pkg1
(See “Understanding the Location of Serviceguard Files” (page 135) for information about
Serviceguard pathnames.)
6.2.2 cmmakepkg Examples
The cmmakepkg command generates a package configuration file. Some examples follow; see
the cmmakepkg (1m) manpage for complete information. All the examples create an editable
configuration file pkg1.conf in the $SGCONF/pkg1 directory.
NOTE: If you do not include a base module (or default or all) on the cmmakepkg command
line, cmmakepkg will ignore the modules you specify and generate a default configuration file
containing all the parameters.
For a complex package, or if you are not yet sure which parameters you will need to set, the
default may be the best choice; see the first example below.
You can use the-v option with cmmakepkg to control how much information is displayed online
or included in the configuration file. Valid values are 0, 1 and 2. -v 0 removes all comments; -v
1 includes a brief heading for each parameter; -v 2 provides a full description of each parameter.
The default is level 2.
• To generate a configuration file that contains all the optional modules:
cmmakepkg $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf
• To create a generic failover package (that could be applied without editing):
cmmakepkg -n pkg1 -m sg/failover $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf
• To generate a configuration file for a failover package that uses relocatable IP addresses and
runs an application that requires file systems to be mounted at run time (enter the command
all on one line):
cmmakepkg -m sg/failover -m sg/package_ip -m sg/service -m
sg/filesystem -m sg/volume_group $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf
• To generate a configuration file adding the generic resources module to an existing
package (enter the command all on one line):
cmmakepkg -i $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf -m sg/generic_resource
• To generate a configuration file for a failover package that runs an application that requires
another package to be up (enter the command all on one line):
cmmakepkg -m sg/failover -m sg/dependency -m sg/service
$SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf
• To generate a configuration file adding the services module to an existing package (enter
the command all on one line):
cmmakepkg -i $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.conf -m sg/service
$SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1_v2.conf
NOTE: You can add more than one module at a time.
