The Recovery Kit for Quick Service Protection (hereafter referred to as the Recovery Kit for QSP) provides a simplified method to protect the OS service. With the Recovery Kit for QSP users can easily create a LifeKeeper resource instance to protect an OS service provided that service can be started and stopped by the OS service command. The service can also be protected via the Generic Application Recovery Kit but the use of that kit requires code development, whereas the Recovery Kit for QSP does not. Also, by creating a dependency relationship, protected services can be started and stopped in conjunction with the application that requires the service.
The Recovery Kit for QSP quickCheck can only perform simple health checks (using the “status” action of the service command). Recovery Kit for QSP doesn’t guarantee that the service is provided or the process is functioning. If complicated starting and/or stopping is necessary, or more robust health checking operations are necessary, using a Generic Application is recommended.
