Managing HP Serviceguard for Linux, Tenth Edition, September 2012

Package Parameter Explanations
Brief descriptions of the package configuration parameters follow.
NOTE: For more information, see the comments in the editable configuration file output
by the cmmakepkg command, and the cmmakepkg (1m) manpage.
If you are going to browse these explanations deciding which parameters you need,
you may want to generate and print out a configuration file that has the comments for
all of the parameters; you can create such a file as follows:
cmmakepkg -m sg/all $SGCONF/sg-all
or simply
cmmakepkg $SGCONF/sg-all
This creates a file $SGCONF/sg-all that contains all the parameters and comments.
(See “Understanding the Location of Serviceguard Files” (page 156) for the location of
$SGCONF on your version of Linux.)
More detailed instructions for running cmmakepkg are in the next section, “Generating
the Package Configuration File” (page 225).
See also “Package Configuration Planning ” (page 120).
package_name
Any name, up to a maximum of 39 characters, that:
• starts and ends with an alphanumeric character
• otherwise contains only alphanumeric characters or dot (.), dash (-), or underscore
(_)
• is unique among package names in this cluster
IMPORTANT: Restrictions on package names in previous Serviceguard releases
were less stringent. Packages whose names do not conform to the above rules will
continue to run, but if you reconfigure them, you will need to change the name;
cmcheckconf and cmapplyconf will enforce the new rules.
module_name
The module name. Do not change it. Used in the form of a relative path (for example
sg/failover) as a parameter to cmmakepkg to specify modules to be used in
configuring the package. (The files reside in the $SGCONF/modules directory; see
“Understanding the Location of Serviceguard Files” (page 156) for the location of $SGCONF
on your version of Linux.)
New for modular packages.
