26.1 The Cookbook for Setting Up Packages in a Serviceguard Cluster

     

As with other "cookbooks" in this book, I assume that you are quite familiar with the background for each point that should be studied and understood before being implemented carefully. Essentially, what I am saying here is don't just throw yourself into the cookbook without ensuring that you carefully read the accompanying information and study the examples before trying it for yourself. Table 26-1 lists the steps in the cookbook.

Table 26-1. The Cookbook for Setting Up Packages in a Serviceguard Cluster

Setting Up Packages in a Serviceguard Cluster

1. Set up and test a package-less cluster.

2. Understand how a Serviceguard package works.

3. Establish whether you can utilize a Serviceguard Toolkit.

4. Understand the workings of any in-house applications.

5. Create package monitoring scripts, if necessary.

6. Distribute the application monitoring scripts to all relevant nodes in the cluster.

7. Create and update an ASCII package configuration file ( cmmakepkg “p ).

8. Create and update an ASCII package control script ( cmmakepkg “s ).

9. Distribute manually to all relevant nodes, the ASCII package control script.

10. Check the ASCII package control file ( cmcheckconf ).

11. Distribute the updated binary cluster configuration file ( cmapplyconf ).

12. Ensure that any data files and programs that are to be shared are loaded onto shared disk drives .

13. Start the package ( cmrunpkg or cmmodpkg ).

14. Ensure that package switching is enabled.
