Error: Two services with same name

Elif Gius — Mon, 05 Jul 2004 10:03:34 GMT

Hi all,

I would like to configure a SERVICE within my package. So I added following entries into my package control file:

SERVICE_NAME[0]="Service"
SERVICE_CMD[0]="/etc/cmcluster/package/Service/Service.sh start"
SERVICE_RESTART[0]="-R"

My config file looks like following:

SERVICE_NAME Service
SERVICE_FAIL_FAST_ENABLED NO
SERVICE_HALT_TIMEOUT 60

Everythings looks fine. I made the same entries in another service guard packge. There it works. But here I got following error when trying a cmcheckconf -v -P PACKAGE.conf

Checking existing configuration ... Done
Gathering configuration information ... Done
Parsing package file: PACKAGE.conf.
Package PACKAGE already exists. It will be modified.
Error: Two services with same name: Service
Error: Two services with same name: Service
Maximum configured packages parameter is 60.
Configuring 54 package(s).
6 package(s) can be added to this cluster.
cmcheckconf : Unable to verify package.

But I don't see that the service is twice configured. Has anyone an idea???

are you saying you already have a service called Service configured in the cluster?
If so, that is the problem. Service names need to be unique within the cluster.
I also recommend you call your service something more meaningful, so as to ease management and troubleshooting.

My Service Name is not "Service". I have a Name for this Service.
But this Service will be in all packages.
It is a standard service in our packages. So I wanted to name them all the same.

But thanks for the hint. Thats the information I needed. I couldn't explain myself the error message I received from cmcheckconf .

If you need to have the same service in all the packages, the tip is to give the SERVICE_NAME as _ This will not give any error.

For example, the service name ABC is needed in packages P1, P2, then you can give the service name as ABC_P1, ABC_P2... Rest all can be same... Service guard will not allow only duplicate entries for Service name...
