Managing HP Serviceguard for Linux Ninth Edition, April 2009

• fail_wait - The package is waiting to be halted because the package or a package
it depends on has failed, but must wait for a package it depends on to halt before
it can halt.
• failed - The package is down and failed.
• relocate_wait - The package’s halt script has completed or Serviceguard is still
trying to place the package.
• maintenance — The package is in maintenance mode; see “Maintaining a Package:
Partial-Startup Maintenance Mode” (page 237).
• reconfiguring — The node where this package is running is adjusting the
package configuration to reflect the latest changes that have been applied.
• reconfigure_wait — The node where this package is running is waiting to
adjust the package configuration to reflect the latest changes that have been applied.
• unknown - Serviceguard could not determine the state at the time cmviewcl was
run.
The following states are possible only for multi-node packages:
• blocked - The package has never run on this node, either because a dependency
has not been met, or because auto_run is set to no.
• changing - The package is in a transient state, different from the status shown,
on some nodes. For example, a status of starting with a state of changing
would mean that the package was starting on at least one node, but in some other,
transitory condition (for example, failing) on at least one other node.
Package Switching Attributes
cmviewcl shows the following package switching information:
• AUTO_RUN: Can be enabled or disabled. For failover packages, enabled means
that the package starts when the cluster starts, and Serviceguard can switch the
package to another node in the event of failure.
For system multi-node packages, enabled means an instance of the package can
start on a new node joining the cluster (disabled means it will not).
• Switching Enabled for a Node: For failover packages, enabled means that the
package can switch to the specified node. disabled means that the package cannot
switch to the specified node until the node is enabled to run the package via the
cmmodpkg command.
Every failover package is marked enabled or disabled for each node that is
either a primary or adoptive node for the package.
For multi-node packages, node switching disabled means the package cannot
start on that node.
