Test a serviceguard package

Bob Carback — Fri, 02 Jun 2006 13:05:00 GMT

I would like to create/install a simple test package to test failover from 1 node to another. Any suggestions on something simple to use?

Kill the application PID. If you have monitoring scripts they will sense its loss. For example, oracle

ps -ef | grep -i oracle
kill -9 PID

HW failovers are something else and should have been tested before building the application. Pulling a network cable for instance. Can you specify HW or SW and application?

actually what I'm asking for is the name of a simple piece of software for testing. I understand how to test the failover, I just want something to test

Well, the first application that is packaged in the MC/SG class is xclock. It's a very simple application although it assume that you have a Xserver somewhere (e.g. eXceed or ReflectionX or a Linux box).
