Managing HP Serviceguard for Linux, Eighth Edition, March 2008

Configuring Packages and Their Services
Choosing Package Modules
Chapter 6214
log_level
Determines the amount of information printed to stdout when the
package is validated, and to the script_log_file (see page 213) when
the package is started and halted. Valid values are 0 through 5, but you
should normally use only the first two (0 or 1); the remainder (2 through
5) are intended for use by HP Support.
• 0 - informative messages
• 1 - informative messages with slightly more detail
• 2 - messages showing logic flow
• 3 - messages showing detailed data structure information
• 4 - detailed debugging information
• 5 - function call flow
New for modular packages.
failover_policy
Specifies how Serviceguard decides where to start the package, or
restart it if it fails. Can be set to configured_node or
min_package_node. The default is configured_node.
• configured_node means Serviceguard will attempt to start the
package on the first available node in the list you provide under
node_name (see page 210).
• min_package_node means Serviceguard will start the package on
whichever node in the node_name list has the fewest packages
running at the time.
This parameter can be set for failover packages only. If this package will
depend on another package or vice versa, see also “About Package
Dependencies” on page 123.
failback_policy
Specifies whether or not Serviceguard will automatically move a package
that is not running on its primary node (the first node on its node_name
list) when the primary node is once again available. Can be set to
automatic or manual. The default is manual.
