Forcing a Package to Start

The cmforceconcl command is used to force a Continentalclusters package to start even if the status of a remote package in the recovery group is unknown. This command is used as a prefix to a cmrunpkg and cmmodpkg command.

Under normal circumstances, Continentalclusters will not allow a package to start in the recovery cluster unless it can determine that the package is not running in the primary cluster. In some cases, communication between the two clusters may be lost, and you may need to start the package on the recovery cluster anyway. To do this, you can use the cmforeconcl command. The command is used along with a cmrunkpg or cmmodpkg command, as in the following example:

# cmforceconcl cmrunpkg -n node3 Pkg1

	WARNING! When using this command, it is your responsibility to ensure that the other cluster is not running the package. Failure to do this may result in the package running in both clusters, which will cause data corruption.
