package swithcing query

[TMcB]

Hi everyone

My package starts OK on both nodes on our 2 node cluster.
In mainly runs on node1, but when I switch run it on the 2nd node, it starts OK, but only remains up for a few seconds before it returns back to the first node.

I turned off package switching, and it remained up on the 2nd node for a period of time. As soon as I enabled package switching it automatically failed back over to node 1.

What do I need to set so that it will not immediately fail back to node 1 as soon as I switch it to run on node 2.

The entries in the cntl log file are :
Aug 29 08:13:01 - Node "bfsm02": Starting service sgm_ser using
"/etc/cmcluster/pkg/ pkg.sh monitor"
*** /etc/cmcluster/pkg/ pkg.sh called with monitor argument. ***

########### Node "bfsm02": Package start completed at Wed Aug 29 08:13
:01 BST 2007 ###########
Monitored process = oninit, pid = 21601

########### Node "bfsm02": Halting package at Wed Aug 29 08:28:37 BST
2007 ###########
Aug 29 08:28:37 - Node "bfsm02": Halting service sgm_service

*** /etc/cmcluster/pkg/pkg.sh called with halt argument. ***

Thanks

Maybe you have auto-failback enabled ? This will bring th epackage to the preferred node immediately when SG detects the preferred node is available.

Hi
Check parameter:
FAILOVER_POLICY CONFIGURED_NODE
FAILBACK_POLICY MANUAL
Failback should be like in ex. manual if you don't want automatic failback.
