What is # of packages limit for MC/SG ver 11 ?

Rita C Workman — Tue, 22 May 2001 11:08:45 GMT

OK..I know that on MC/SG ver 10.1 you could have a limit of:
8 nodes & 30 packages
....and I know that on MC/SG ver 11. you could have a limit of:
16 nodes

But I can't find ( or recall ) what the limit is on # of packages you can have for ver 11......ANYBODY KNOW THIS? AND WHERE CAN I FIND IT WRITTEN????

Rita, This is STILL 30 packages maximum at the current release of 11.12

There is an SR in to increase this limit, but I can give you no time frame for when that will be available, or even confirm it will be available.

From the SG manual, Dec 2000, page 67,

"Packages are the means by which ServiceGuard starts and halts configured applications. Packages are also units of failover behavior in ServiceGuard. A package is a collection of services, disk volumes and IP addresses that are managed by ServiceGuard to ensure they are available. Any package can have a maximum of 30 services, and therecan be as many as 30 packages per cluster, for a possible total of 900 services per cluster."

The SG lab is currently about to evaluate whether they can allow an upper limit of 60 packages with an upcoming release of SG.

Hi Rita:

I think the limit is 30. From the "Managing MC/ServiceGuard (HP-UX 11.0, HP-UX 11i)" manual on page-58:

"You can use up to 200 relocatable IP addresses in a cluster spread over as many as 30 packages".
