Hello,
I have set pkg control file thus:
SERVICE_NAME mon
SERVICE_FAIL_FAST_ENABLED NO
SERVICE_HALT_TIMEOUT 30

I would know what happen if mon deed, and what happen if mon ded and if set SERVICE_FAIL_FAST_ENABLED YES.

Thanks

Filo

If you set SERVICE_FAIL_FAST_ENABLED YES, this is telling hte system htat in hte event of your service dieing/failing, your node will TOC, or dump.
See the manual at http://docs.hp.com/hpux/ha Managing MC/ServiceGuard

Hi,

if "mon" dies, the cluster will restart it or fail, depending on the following variable:

SERVICE_RESTART[0]=""

SERVICE_FAIL_FAST_ENABLED YES -> a failure will cause a TOC.

HTH,
Massimo

From your MC/SG pkg control file comments:

The value for SERVICE_FAIL_FAST_ENABLED can be either YES or
# NO. If set to YES, in the event of a service failure, the
# cluster software will halt the node on which the service is
# running. If SERVICE_FAIL_FAST_ENABLED is not specified, the
# default will be NO.

I think you wouldn't like your node halted in the event of service failure...Btw,on a multinode cluster (package running on many nodes) that should be set to Yes...
