Managing HP Serviceguard A.11.20.10 for Linux, December 2012

7.1.6 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.
7.1.7 Service Status
Services have only status, as follows:
• Up. The service is being monitored.
• Down. The service is not running. It may not have started, or have halted or failed.
• Unknown. Serviceguard cannot determine the status.
7.1.8 Generic Resource Status
Generic resources have only status, as follows:
• Up. The generic resource is up.
• Down. The generic resource is down.
• Unknown. Resource monitoring has not yet set the status of the resource.
7.1.9 Network Status
The network interfaces have only status, as follows:
• Up.
• Down.
• Unknown. Serviceguard cannot determine whether the interface is up or down.
7.1.10 Failover and Failback Policies
Failover packages can be configured with one of two values for the failover_policy parameter
(page 172), as displayed in the output of cmviewcl -v:
• configured_node. The package fails over to the next node in the node_name list in the
package configuration file (page 170).
• min_package_node. The package fails over to the node in the cluster with the fewest running
packages on it.
