The cmviewcl -v -f line output (snippet) will be as follows:
cmviewcl -v -f line -p pkg1 | grep generic_resource
generic_resource:sfm_disk|name=sfm_disk
generic_resource:sfm_disk|evaluation_type=during_package_start
generic_resource:sfm_disk|up_criteria=”N/A”
generic_resource:sfm_disk|node:node1|status=unknown
generic_resource:sfm_disk|node:node1|current_value=0
generic_resource:sfm_disk|node:node2|status=unknown
generic_resource:sfm_disk|node:node2|current_value=0
NOTE: The default status of a generic resource is UNKNOWN and the default current_value
is "0" unless the status/value of a simple/extended generic resource is set using the
cmsetresource command.
6. Start the package. As part of the package start, the monitoring script will start the monitoring
of the generic resource and set the status accordingly.

4.8.6.1 Getting and Setting the Status/Value of a Simple/Extended Generic Resource
You can use the Serviceguard commands cmgetresource(1m) and cmsetresource(1m),
to get or set the status of a simple generic resource or the value of an extended generic resource.
These commands can also be used in the monitoring script or executed from the CLI. You must be
a root user (UID=0) to execute these commands. Non-root users cannot run these commands.
4.8.6.1.1 Using Serviceguard Command to Get the Status/Value of a Simple/Extended Generic
Resource
Use the cmgetresource command to get the status of a simple generic resource or the value of
an extended generic resource. For example:
cmgetresource -r sfm_disk
This retrieves the status of the generic resource sfm_disk if it is configured as a simple resource.
If configured as an extended resource, the current value is returned.
4.8.6.1.2 Using Serviceguard Command to Set the Status/Value of a Simple/Extended Generic
Resource
Use the cmsetresource command to set the status of a simple generic resource or the value of
an extended generic resource. For example:
cmsetresource -r sfm_disk -s up
This sets the status of the generic resource sfm_disk to up. This is a simple generic resource and
only the status can be set to up/down.
cmsetresource -r sfm_lan 10
This sets the current value of the generic resource sfm_lan to 10. This is an extended generic
resource and only numeric values from 1 to 2147483647 can be set.
