Halting a Package
You halt an HP Serviceguard package when you wish to bring the
package out of use but wish the node to continue in operation. You can
halt a package using Serviceguard Manager or HP Serviceguard
commands. Halting a package has a different effect than halting the
node. When you halt the node, its packages may switch to adoptive nodes
(assuming that switching is enabled for them); when you halt the
package, it is disabled from switching to another node, and must be
restarted manually on another node or on the same node.
Using Serviceguard Manager to Halt a Package
Select the package you wish to halt, and right-click to display the action
list. Select “Halt the package.” The package must be running.
The progress window shows messages as the action takes place. This will
include a message for halting the package.
Using HP Serviceguard Commands to Halt a Package
Use the cmhaltpkg command to halt a package, as follows:
# cmhaltpkg pkg1
This halts pkg1 and disables it from switching to another node.
