move a package from running on one node to another

[Bob Carback]

It looks like the only way to move a package from running on one node to running on another is to --
cmhaltpkg pkg1
cmrunpkg -n othernode pkg1

Is this true or am I missing a command?

[Marvin Strong]

you got it thats how you do it.

Well, if you've setup your package correctly there is an even simpler method:

1) Grab power cord
2) Yank

pkg1 should then start running on othernode.

Yeah, if you have physical access to the machine in question. Always good to test failures when setting up a cluster :)

Shalom,

A. Clay's methodology has the benefit of being how things happen in real life.

Maybe a little hard on the power supply but its an HP-9000 server after all. Only Merkava tanks are tougher.

Okay, if you don't have physical access then:

1) Aim gun at server
2) Pull trigger
3) Lather, rinse, and repeat until something vital is hit.

Running the cmhaltpkg and cmrunpkg commands are only the start of a testing cycle but they are the way that packages are moved for maintenance, for example.

Dang, I only thought I was being stupid. I may have to add that to my MC/SG cluster testing.
