HP Serviceguard Toolkit for Enterprise DB PPAS for Linux User Guide Version A.12.00.00

3 Configuring the EDB PPAS toolkit
After installing the EDB PPAS toolkit, you can create the Serviceguard package to manage the EDB
PPAS database instance.
NOTE: The EDB PPAS toolkit supports only Serviceguard modular style packages.
Creating the EDB PPAS toolkit package
To create a EDB PPAS toolkit package:
1. Create a directory for the package on all the package nodes.
For example:
# mkdir $SGCONF/<directory name>
NOTE: The directory name is user specified.
2. Run the cd command to change to the package directory.
3. Create the package configuration template for PPAS toolkit using the cmmakepkg command.
For example:
# cmmakepkg –m tkit/ppas/ppas ppas_pkg.conf
This creates the modular style package configuration file with all the required attributes for
PPAS.
NOTE: Use the -m option to include the PPAS toolkit module tkit/ppas/ppas and the
ppas_pkg.conf package ASCII file. You can edit the package ASCII file.
4. Enter the values for the following attributes in the package configuration file (ppas_pkg.conf):
