Managing HP Serviceguard for Linux Ninth Edition, April 2009

NOTE: The default form for parameter names in the modular package configuration
file is lower case; for legacy packages the default is upper case. There are no
compatibility issues; Serviceguard is case-insensitive as far as the parameter names are
concerned. This manual uses lower case, unless the parameter in question is used only
in legacy packages, or the context refers exclusively to such a package.
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 147) 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 214).
See also “Package Configuration Planning ” (page 118).
