Cluster and Package Maintenance
Reviewing Cluster and Package Status
Chapter 7 233
• start_wait - A cmrunpkg command is in progress for this package.
The package is waiting for packages it depends on (predecessors) to
start before it can start.
• running - Services are active and being monitored.
• halting - A cmhaltpkg command is in progress for this package
and the halt script is running.
• halt_wait - A cmhaltpkg command is in progress for this package.
The package is waiting to be halted, but the halt script cannot start
because the package is waiting for packages that depend on it
(successors) to halt. The parameter description for
successor_halt_timeout on page 204 provides more
information.
• halted - The package is down and halted.
• failing - The package is halting because it, or a package it
depends on, has failed.
• 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.
• unknown - Serviceguard could not determine the state at the time
cmviewcl was run.
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).
