package w/o ipaddr allowed?

Simple, slightly twisted, question.
I have a package that is just for me to start testing service guard with a 2node cluster.
The package is just a disk seen by both nodes.
Do I really need an ip address for the package? I'm not using it.
Perhaps a package without an ip is called a service?
But isn't a service a subset of a package?

You can indeed have a package w2ithout an ip address.
Definition of a package is a collection of all resurces needed to run the application.
These can include, but do not need all, VG's, FS's, IP's etc.
So yes, create away, all you will suffer is that you have no floatoing ip to connect to, but if you do not need that, no worries.

Hi,

Certainly. You can specify no or multiple floating IPs for any pkg. But one of the benefits of a floater - especially for testing - is that you can ping for it from anywhere to determine if the pkg is up. As opposed to logging into the box & running cmviewcl.

My 2 cents,
Jeff

thanks.
I will be putting in an ip address address later. I'm just want to move slowly.
