Configuring Modular Packages for Extended Distance Cluster Software
Chapter 488
Configuring Modular Packages for Extended
Distance Cluster Software
With A.11.18, HP Serviceguard introduces a unified method of
configuring packages. Packages created with this method are referred to
as modular packages. With this new method, you can configure any
package using a single file.
Similarly, using the modular package method, you can configure
Extended Distance Cluster software. The XDC configuration parameters
are also located in this single file.
Creating an XDC Modular Package
With the introduction of modular packages in HP Serviceguard A.11.18,
the XDC parameters are now listed in the package ASCII file.
To create a modular package, complete the following procedure:
1. If you had initially configured legacy packages, you would have
copied the raid.conf template into each package directory to enable
Software RAID. Move these templates into a temporary directory.
2. Run the following command to create a modular package for XDC:
# cmmakepkg -m xdc/xdc <package file name>.config
For example:
# cmmakepkg -m xdc/xdc oracle.config
NOTE You can also configure modules when you create a modular package
for XDC. To create modules, run the following command:
# cmmakepkg -m xdc/xdc -m <module_name_1> -m
<module_name_2> <package_file_name>.config
By running this command, an empty template file is created. You will
need to edit this empty template file to enable Software RAID in your
environment.
