cmhaltpkg -n

When you issue the cmhaltpkg command this automatically disables global package switching

To Enable you below command
cmmodpkg -e

>>>3. I have oracle active and passive set by MSservice guard . I do not want to move pkg during oracle shutdown for maintance period ..<<<

sorry no idea, But for more information on the "Database Application" look into "pkg.cntl"

Asif,

1. How to move the pkg on other node serv2:

- Halt the pkg on server1.
- Run the pkg on server2 .


2. How to disable the pkg swicthing during maintance period:

# cmmodpkg -d -n server_name


3. If the pkg.cntl is configured correctly it will take care of oracle shutdown with the pkg shutdown. Keep monitoring the pkg.cntl.log file under /etc/cmcluster/pkg/


Cheers,
Raj.

Hi,

Starting package on the other node
#cmhaltpkg packagename --->node1
#cmrunpkg pkgname---->node2

To enable the auto switching
#cmmodpkg -e pkackagename

To disable the autoswitching use -d instead of -e

IF the oracle package uses the oracle toolkit there is a package maintenance flag that you can configure.

Example.

set maintenance flag
take down oracle database
but leave filesystems up
change parameters and patch oracle
startup oracle
remove package mainentance flag

HP had extensive training on ServiceGuard in classroom and remote classes

Hi,

1. How to move the pkg on other node serv2?

Use following command from any node.
cmhaltpkg -n
cmrunpkg -n

2. How to disable the pkg swicthing during maintance period

Anytime if u want to disable pkg switching, run following commmand from any node.
cmmodpkg -d

To enable back

cmmodpkg -e

verify and confirm package is switched by cmviewcl -v

3. I have oracle active and passive set by MSservice guard . I do not want to move pkg during oracle shutdown for maintance period ..

package wont get switched neither any disturbance occured on cluster even down package.
So you need to manually disable pkg during oracle shutdown.

All the Best
