SG package does not start automatically.

[Vishu]

Hi masters,

I have two node clusters(obd1 and obd2) running Serviceguard having two packages running on the primary node. When i boot my server, the packages do not start up automatically. infact, the same scene is with when i run command :
'cmruncl -v'

But, when i run the follwing commands, the packages come up beautifully and working fine.
cmrunpkg -v pdobdpkg
cmrunpkg -v sdobdpkg

I have checked that AUTO_RUN feature is enabled in the cmviewcl output. I want to run the packages automatically. please help me in this.

Regards
Vishu

Is the cluster configured to run at boot time ?

post the output of the following:

grep -i autostart /etc/rc.config.d/cmcluster

cmgetconf -p pdobdpkg | sed -e 's/#.*//g' -e '/^$/d'

cmgetconf -p sdobdpkg | sed -e 's/#.*//g' -e '/^$/d'

yes, the cluster is configured to start automatically.
AUTO_START_CMCLD=1 in /etc/rc.config.d/cmcluster. Also, when i executes cmruncl command, even then the packages did not came up automatically, instead need to bring them up manually using cmrunpkg.

Are the packages themselves set to start automatically?

If you do a 'cmviewcl' do you see "ENABLED" in the "AUTO_RUN" column for the packages?

Hi,
Below is the output of cmviewcl.

obd1 root # cmviewcl

CLUSTER STATUS
obdb_atl up

NODE STATUS STATE
obd1 up running

PACKAGE STATUS STATE PKG_SWITCH NODE
pdobdpkg up running enabled obd1
sdobdpkg up running enabled obd1

NODE STATUS STATE
obd2 up running

obd1 root #

just cos pkg switching is now enabled, doesn't mean it was at cluster staret time... as previously requested we need some info on the cfg of your pakcages - can you post:

cmgetconf -p pdobdpkg | sed -e 's/#.*//g' -e '/^$/d'

cmgetconf -p sdobdpkg | sed -e 's/#.*//g' -e '/^$/d

Hi,
Below are the parameters in the package configuration file.



PACKAGE_NAME pdobdpkg

NODE_NAME obd1
NODE_NAME obd2

HALT_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT NO_TIMEOUT

SERVICE_NAME pdobdpkg_monitor.sh

SERVICE_HALT_TIMEOUT 300

SUBNET 135.58.64.0

PKG_SWITCHING_ENABLED NO

NET_SWITCHING_ENABLED YES

NODE_FAIL_FAST_ENABLED NO

So this must be a pretty old cluster, as PKG_SWITCHING_ENABLED was deprecated in v11.12 and replaced with AUTO_RUN - what version of SG are you running now?

Anyway, to have packages start when the cluster starts, you'll need to chnage PKG_SWITCHING_ENABLED to yes and reapply the package configurations with cmapplyconf.

Thanks Duncan,

Reapply package configuration by changing the PKG_SWITCHING_ENABLED to yes resolved my problem.....

thanks very much for the solution.

[Vishu]

Also Duncan,

One more thing to ask. I changed my cluster lock disk at the same hardware address and i did not have the vgcfgbackup of it on one another server in a 2 node cluster. Now, i am going to reapply the cluster configuration.

But my question is do i need to run the cmapplyconf with package's conf file also or only cluster ascii files will do the needful and package will start and work automatically.

thanks

Guys,
