6.1 Installing HP Serviceguard for Linux
HP provides an automated installation script that takes you through the process of installing and
configuring Serviceguard for Linux, including Serviceguard Manager and ancillary software. For
information and installation instructions, see the latest version of HP Serviceguard for Linux
Deployment Guide, at http://www.hp.com/go/linux-serviceguard-docs.
The cmeasyinstall script automates the installation of Serviceguard and Serviceguard Manager
component rpms that are shipped by HP. This script must be run on each of the node participating
in the cluster. The script checks for the pre-requisite rpms that are required for Serviceguard and
Serviceguard Manager. If they are present, the component rpms are installed. For more information,
see the README_cmeasyinstall.txt that is bundled along with the cmeasyinstall script.
