Creating and Modifying the HP Serviceguard Package Configuration File

The package configuration file needs to be created and modified for both the Primary cluster (seattle) and Secondary cluster (london).

Creating and Modifying the Configuration File for the Primary Cluster

Perform the following steps on the node seattle1:

1. Create the package directory.
   # mkdir /etc/cmcluster/pri_pkg
2. Create the package configuration file.
   # cmmakepkg -p /etc/cmcluster/pri_pkg/pri_pkg.conf

   You can also do this using SAM.

   The configuration file that is generated by the cmmakepkg command is created with the parameters set to default values. You will need to customize this file to suit your requirements.

3. Edit the package configuration file, pri_pkg.conf using vi or any other editor.

   Refer to the following table for the parameters that you need to change in the package configuration file to configure VVR in an HP Serviceguard environment.

   A sample package configuration file, pri_pkg.conf is available in the /opt/VRTSvrmcsg/samples/seattle directory.

   Parameter	Value
   Specifying a Package Name Modify the PACKAGE_NAME parameter to specify the appropriate package name as indicated by the description in the file. This name should be a unique within a cluster.
   PACKAGE_NAME	pri_pkg
   Specifying the Node Names You must specify the names of all the nodes in the cluster. It is not important to maintain the order.
   NODE_NAME             NODE_NAME	seattle1 seattle2
   Specifying the path to the Run and Halt scripts In most cases the run script and halt script specified here will be the same script, the package control script generated by the cmmakepkg command. This control script handles the running and halting of the package. Enter the timeout, specified in seconds, for the run and halt scripts. If the script has not completed by the specified timeout value, it will be terminated. The default for each script timeout is NO_TIMEOUT.
   RUN_SCRIPT                                                     RUN_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT                                                     HALT_SCRIPT                                                     HALT_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT	/etc/cmcluster/pri_pkg/pri_pkg.cntl NO_TIMEOUT /etc/cmcluster/pri_pkg/pri_pkg.cntl NO_TIMEOUT
   Specifying the Service Name Specify the appropriate service related information by modifying the following parameters. Note    The service name must match the name used in the HP Serviceguard control script.
   SERVICE_NAME SERVICE_FAIL_FAST_ENABLED SERVICE_HALT_TIMEOUT	VVR NO 300
   Specifying the Subnet Name Enter the network subnet name that is to be monitored for this package. Repeat this line as required, for additional subnet names. If any of the subnets defined goes down, the package will be switched to another node that is configured for this package and has all the defined subnets available.
   SUBNET	192.2.40.0

   Save the changes you have made to the pri_pkg.conf file.
