Managing HP Serviceguard for Linux Ninth Edition, April 2009

Use cmmakepkg to create the control script, then edit the control script. Use the
following procedure to create the template for the sample failover package pkg1.
First, generate a control script template, for example:
cmmakepkg -s $SGCONF/pkg1/pkg1.sh
Next, customize the script; see “Customizing the Package Control Script ”.
Customizing the Package Control Script
You need to customize as follows; see the relevant entries under “Package Parameter
Explanations” (page 196) for more discussion.
• Update the PATH statement to reflect any required paths needed to start your
services.
• Specify the Remote Data Replication Method and Software RAID Data Replication
method if necessary.
CAUTION: If you are not using the XDC or CLX products, do not modify the
REMOTE DATA REPLICATION DEFINITION section. If you are using one of these
products, consult the product’s documentation.
• If you are using LVM, enter the names of volume groups to be activated using the
VG[] array parameters, and select the appropriate options for the storage activation
command, including options for mounting and unmounting file systems, if
necessary. Specify the file system type (ext2is the default; ext3, reiserfs, or
gfs can also be used; see the fs_ parameter descriptions starting with
fs_mount_retry_count (page 209) for more information).
• Add the names of logical volumes and the file system that will be mounted on
them.
• Specify the filesystem mount and unmount retry options.
• If your package uses a large number of volume groups or disk groups or mounts
a large number of file systems, consider increasing the number of concurrent
vgchange, mount/umount, and fsck operations;
• Define IP subnet and IP address pairs for your package. IPv4 or IPv6 addresses
are allowed.
• Add service name(s).
• Add service command(s)
• Add a service restart parameter, if you so decide.
For more information about services, see the discussion of the service_ parameters
starting with service_name (page 206).
