Managing HP Serviceguard for Linux, Eighth Edition, March 2008

Configuring Packages and Their Services
Choosing Package Modules
Chapter 6 221
service_restart
The number of times Serviceguard will attempt to re-run the
service_cmd. Valid values are unlimited, none or any positive integer
value. Default is none.
If the value is unlimited, the service will be restarted an infinite
number of times. If the value is none, the service will not be restarted.
This parameter is in the package control script for legacy packages.
service_fail_fast_enabled
Specifies whether or not Serviceguard will halt the node (reboot) on
which the package is running if the service identified by service_name
fails. Valid values are yes and no. Default is no, meaning that failure of
this service will not cause the node to halt.
service_halt_timeout
The length of time, in seconds, Serviceguard will wait for the service to
halt before forcing termination of the service’s process. The maximum
value is 4294.
The value should be large enough to allow any cleanup required by the
service to complete.
If no value is specified, a zero timeout will be assumed, meaning that
Serviceguard will not wait any time before terminating the process.
vgchange_cmd
Replaces VGCHANGE, which is still supported for legacy packages; see
“Configuring a Legacy Package” on page 275. Specifies the method of
activation for each Logical Volume Manager (LVM) volume group
identified by a vg entry.
The default is vgchange -a y.
vg
Specifies an LVM volume group (one per vg, each on a new line) on which
a file system (other than Red Hat GFS; see fs_type on page 225) needs
to be mounted. A corresponding vgchange_cmd (see above) specifies how
the volume group is to be activated. The package script generates the
necessary filesystem commands on the basis of the fs_ parameters (see
page 224).
