Managing HP Serviceguard A.11.20.10 for Linux, December 2012

• detached - A package is said to be detached from the cluster or node where it was running,
when the cluster or node is halted with —d option. Serviceguard no longer monitors this
package. The last known status of the package before it is detached from the cluster was up.
• unknown - Serviceguard could not determine the status at the time cmviewcl was run.
A system multi-node package is up when it is running on all the active cluster nodes. A multi-node
package is up if it is running on any of its configured nodes.
A system multi-node package can have a status of changing, meaning the package is in transition
on one or more active nodes.
The state of a package can be one of the following:
• starting - The package is starting. The package master control script is running.
• start_wait - A cmrunpkg command is in progress for this package. The package is waiting
for packages it depends on (predecessors) to start before it can start.
• running - Services are active and being monitored.
• halting - A cmhaltpkg command is in progress for this package and the halt script is
running.
• halt_wait -A cmhaltpkg command is in progress for this package. The package is
waiting to be halted, but the halt script cannot start because the package is waiting for
packages that depend on it (successors) to halt. The parameter description for
successor_halt_timeout (page 172) provides more information.
• halted - The package is down and halted.
• halt_aborted — The package is aborted during its normal halt sequence. For details, see
cmhaltpkg(1m) man page.
• failing - The package is halting because it, or a package it depends on, has failed.
• fail_wait - The package is waiting to be halted because the package or a package it
depends on has failed, but must wait for a package it depends on to halt before it can halt.
• failed - The package is down and failed.
• relocate_wait - The package’s halt script has completed or Serviceguard is still trying to
place the package.
• maintenance — The package is in maintenance mode; see “Maintaining a Package:
Maintenance Mode” (page 212).
• detached - A package is said to be detached from the cluster, when the cluster or node on
which it was running was halted with the -d option. All package components are up and
running when a package is detached. Serviceguard does not monitor the packages when in
detached state.
• reconfiguring — The node where this package is running is adjusting the package
configuration to reflect the latest changes that have been applied.
• reconfigure_wait — The node where this package is running is waiting to adjust the
package configuration to reflect the latest changes that have been applied.
• unknown - Serviceguard could not determine the state at the time cmviewcl was run.
The following states are possible only for multi-node packages:
• blocked - The package has never run on this node, either because a dependency has not
been met, or because auto_run is set to no.
• changing - The package is in a transient state, different from the status shown, on some
nodes. For example, a status of starting with a state of changing would mean that the
package was starting on at least one node, but in some other, transitory condition (for example,
failing) on at least one other node.
