Configuring Packages and Their Services
Choosing Package Modules
Chapter 6202
Relocatable IP addresses cannot be assigned to multi-node packages.
IMPORTANT Multi-node packages must either use a clustered file system such as
Red Hat GFS, or not use shared storage.
To generate a package configuration file that creates a multi-node
package, include -m sg/multi_node on the cmmakepkg command
line. See “Generating the Package Configuration File” on page 229.
• System multi-node packages. System multi-node packages are
supported only for applications supplied by HP.
NOTE The following parameters cannot be configured for multi-node packages:
• failover_policy
• failback_policy
• ip_subnet
• ip_address
Volume groups configured for packages of this type must be activated in
shared mode.
For more information about types of packages and how they work, see
“How the Package Manager Works” on page 50. For information on
planning a package, see “Package Configuration Planning” on page 119.
When you have decided on the type of package you want to create, the
next step is to decide what additional package-configuration modules you
need to include; see “Package Modules and Parameters” on page 203.
