Configuring Packages and Their Services
Verifying and Applying the Package Configuration
Chapter 6 225
Verifying and Applying the Package
Configuration
Serviceguard checks the configuration you enter and reports any errors.
Use a command such as the following to verify the content of the package
configuration file you have created, for example:
cmcheckconf -v -P $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.config
Errors are displayed on the standard output. If necessary, re-edit the file
to correct any errors, then run cmcheckconf again until it completes
without errors.
The following items are checked:
• Package name is valid, and at least one node_name entry is included.
• There are no duplicate parameter entries (except as permitted for
multiple volume groups, etc).
• Values for all parameters are within permitted ranges.
• Configured resources are available on cluster nodes.
• File systems and volume groups are valid.
• Services are executable.
• Any package that this package depends on is already be part of the
cluster configuration.
When cmcheckconf has completed without errors, apply the package
configuration, for example:
cmapplyconf -P $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.config
This adds the package configuration information to the binary cluster
configuration file in the $SGCONF directory and distributes it to all the
cluster nodes.
NOTE For modular packages, you now need to distribute any external scripts
identified by the external_pre_script and external_script
parameters.
