Renaming a Package Name in a Service Guard Cluster

[Global Server Operation]

I need to rename a package name witin my two node cluster. Service Guard version is 11.16.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

All replies are appreciated.

You need to halt the package and then make necessary changes and then start the package again..

don't forget to distribute the package configuration and control script file to be copied on both nodes..

Anyway what's the requirement for renaming the package..

[Emil Velez]

watch out..

halt the package
delete the package from the cluster
cmdeleteconf

then add the new package to the cluster. If you just changed the name of the pcakge and added to the cluster you would have 2 packges with the same configuration.

Emil is correct.
A new package name represents another package to Serviceguard.

Update the package configuration file with the new package name. Do you want to alter the directory name of the package to match?? If so, remember to alter the directory path on both nodes, and in the package configuration file.

Then halt and delete the old package and add the new package.

$ cmdeleteconf -f
$ cmapplyconf -P
$ cmviewcl -v -p
$ cmrunpkg

It is not necessary to distribute the package configuration file to the other node(s) in the cluster, but doing so permits you to admin changes to the package from the other node should you need to.

To make it completly consistent

mv oldpackage.conf newpackage.conf
mv oldpackage.cntl newpackage.cntl

on all the nodes

Halt the package, do a

cmgetconf -p
/etc/cmcluster//.ascii
cmdeleteconf -p

Then update the package ascii file which you just received from cmgetconf at
/etc/cmcluster//.ascii with the new package name
and run

cmapplyconf -vP

and confirm with y to override.
