Chapter 16: Configure Service Monitors 202
Scripts
Service monitors can optionally be configured with scripts that are run at
various points during cluster operation. The script types are as follows:
Recovery script. Runs after a monitor probe failure is detected, in an
attempt to restore the service.
Start script. Runs as a service is becoming active on a server.
Stop script. Runs as a service is becoming inactive on a server.
When a monitor is instantiated for a service (because the ClusterPulse
process is starting or the configuration has changed), HP Clustered File
System chooses the best server to make the service active. The Start script
is run on this server. On all other servers configured for the monitor, the
Stop script is run to ensure that the service is not active.
Start scripts must be robust enough to run when the service is already
started, without considering this to be an error. Similarly, Stop scripts
must be robust enough to run when the service is already stopped,
