In the package config file set the nodes as in the order you want the package to run:

node_name primary
node_name secondary

Then use cmcheckconf/cmapplyconf to apply the new config.

[S.N.S]

Yes, make the changes to the package config file (under the package dir):

NODE_NAME first_priority_node
NODE_NAME second_priority_node

then:


cmcheckconf -v -P pkg1.ascii

After it passes the test; distribute the file

cmapplyconf -v -P pkg1.ascii

You may need to halt the package.

Hi ,

are you asking about running all the package in another node in running cluster?

Hey;

As others have attempted to explain, the primary/secondary/tertiary/etc setting isn't at the cluster level, it's at the package level.

The system order on which packages run is determined by the NODE_NAME parameter in the package configuration file.

1. Shut the package down
2. Edit the configuration file, reorder as desired.
3. cmapplyconf -P ${pkg}.conf
4. cmrunpkg ${pkg}

I did following and got the error

1. cmhaltpkg -n hostname rmsexped
2.edit the pkg.conf file and distributed

Hi,

The node "rmsexp" seems to be down. Have you tried to start it up?

# cmrunnode rmsexp

Hi Asif,

Let us know what was done after the package was running successfully (you had posted that it was a success)

Give us the related errors from syslog...

For encouragement, kindly assign point to those who try to help you :-)

There is no concept of primary and secondary node from cluster point of view.

It comes in picture when u define package which server you want the package to run normally.
so you have to change in pgk.conf fiel and cmapply.

I don think you should halt the package for cosmetic reason, next time it would automatically take the new config.

Hi Asif.

Lets try following steps.

1. Halt package and cluster
2. Login to expw
3. Edit package configuration file for changing the node sequence
4. cmcheckconf -P pkg conf file
5 cmapplyconf -P pkg conf file
6. Edit cluster configuration file inside /etc/cmcluster for node sequence and n/w interfaces
7. cd etc/cmcluster
8. cmcheckconf -C clusterconf file
9. cmapplyconf -C clusterconf file
10. cmviewcl
11 if everything is fine ftp both the configuration file to host exp
12. start package (cmrunpkg packagename) from expw

If your Serviceguard version is 11.19, it is not necessary to halt the package or the cluster.

Edit the package ascii file, basically
the NODE_NAME field in the order you want to run the package and do a cmcheckconf and cmapplyconf.
This would do.
