Serviceguard package question

[leebob]

Hi,

Does anyone know if there's anyway to create with daemons run by different users?

Also do the packages need their own volume group?

[Wilfred Chau_1]

Not sure about the first question, here is the MCSG doc:
http://docs.hp.com/en/ha.html

yes, the package needs its own VG since it will be "swung" among the nodes in the cluster in case of failure.

If you mean how to run a process from the package as a user other than root, you can use su:

su - username -c 'command to run here'

[Stephen Doud]

Only one package should be the sole manager of a volume group. The admin includes a reference to the volume group (and logical volume/mount points etc) in either the modular package configuration file or legacy package control script.
This is discussed in the Managing Serviceguard manual at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-SG-docs

Please re-phrase your question involving daemons.
