Managing HP Serviceguard for Linux, Eighth Edition, March 2008

Configuring Packages and Their Services
Chapter 6200
NOTE This is a new process for configuring packages, as of Serviceguard
A.11.18. This manual refers to packages created by this method as
modular packages, and assumes that you will use it to create new
packages.
Packages created using Serviceguard A.11.16 or earlier are referred to as
legacy packages. If you need to reconfigure a legacy package (rather
than create a new package), see “Configuring a Legacy Package” on
page 275.
It is also still possible to create new legacy packages by the method
described in “Configuring a Legacy Package”. If you are using a
Serviceguard Toolkit, consult the documentation for that product.
If you decide to convert a legacy package to a modular package, see
“Migrating a Legacy Package to a Modular Package” on page 289. Do not
attempt to convert Serviceguard Toolkit packages.
(Parameters that are in the package control script for legacy packages,
but in the package configuration file instead for modular packages, are
indicated by (S) in the tables starting on page 206.)
