Managing HP Serviceguard for Linux, Tenth Edition, September 2012

NOTE: Keep the following in mind when reading the examples that follow, and when
actually configuring priorities:
1. auto_run (page 206) should be set to yes for all the packages involved; the
examples assume that it is.
2. Priorities express a ranking order, so a lower number means a higher priority (10
is a higher priority than 30, for example).
HP recommends assigning values in increments of 20 so as to leave gaps in the
sequence; otherwise you may have to shuffle all the existing priorities when assigning
priority to a new package.
no_priority, the default, is treated as a lower priority than any numerical value.
3. All packages with no_priority are by definition of equal priority, and there is
no other way to assign equal priorities; a numerical priority must be unique within
the cluster. See “priority” (page 210) for more information.
