This parameter is not configurable; do not change the entries in the
configuration file.
New for modular packages.
log_level
Determines the amount of information printed to stdout when the
package is validated, and to the script_log_file (see page 204) when
the package is started and halted. Valid values are 0 through 5:
• 0 - informative messages
• 1 - informative messages with slightly more detail
• 2 - messages showing logic flow
• 3 - messages showing detailed data structure information
• 4 - detailed debugging information
• 5 - function call flow
New for modular packages.
failover_policy
Specifies how Serviceguard decides where to start the package, or
restart it if it fails. Can be set to configured_node or
min_package_node. The default is configured_node.
• configured_node means Serviceguard will attempt to start the
package on the first available node in the list you provide under
node_name (see page 202).
• min_package_node means Serviceguard will start the package on
whichever node in the node_name list has the fewest packages
running at the time.
This parameter can be set for failover packages only.
failback_policy
Specifies whether or not Serviceguard will automatically move a package
that is not running on its primary node (the first node on its node_name
list) when the primary node is once again available. Can be set to
automatic or manual. The default is manual.
• manual means the package will continue to run on the current node.
