Anatmony of a control file

[khilari]

Hi people, i want to ask as to what are the parameters that have to be set in a control file. Can any one explain lets say i have an application with 5 processes in it. Now, how do i go about making its control file.
Thanks.

Hi,
from the manual:
http://docs.hp.com/en/B3936-90073/ch06s02.html
But in general, for example:
SERVICE_NAME[0]=db-mon
SERVICE_CMD[0]="db-mon.sh"
SERVICE_RESTART[0]="-r 2"

Take a look at the full ServiceGuard document here for details:

This can depend on the app. Some apps create their own, some you create

My mistake - I see the heading for ServiceGuard.
Sorry

Are you talking about the general purpose package control script that activates volume groups, mounts file systems and configures the relocatable IP before kicking off the application control script, or are you talking about the application-specific control script?
If you are talking about the application-specific control script, it would depend on what processes you need to launch and how they would get started, ie, what user should start each process, the command line used to start each process and in what order they get started. An equivalent stop script must be created/used for the package to halt properly.

Khilari,

You need to specify the Service Name, Service command and service restart parameter. Also specify the IP and subnets.

Also specify the Volume groups. The rest of the parameters can be left with their default values.
