Package Switching Attributes
cmviewcl shows the following package switching information:
• AUTO_RUN: Can be enabled or disabled. For failover packages,
enabled means that the package starts when the cluster starts, and
Serviceguard can switch the package to another node in the event of
failure.
For system multi-node packages, enabled means an instance of the
package can start on a new node joining the cluster (disabled means
it will not).
• Switching Enabled for a Node: For failover packages, enabled means
that the package can switch to the specified node. disabled means
that the package cannot switch to the specified node until the node is
enabled to run the package via the cmmodpkg command.
Every failover package is marked enabled or disabled for each node
that is either a primary or adoptive node for the package.
For multi-node packages, node switching disabled means the
package cannot start on that node.
