6.1.3 Pre-installation checklist for Serviceguard
• Before you begin installing Serviceguard, make sure that all components of the cluster have
been upgraded to their latest firmware versions.
• Serviceguard for Linux depends on the xinetd service. Make sure that the xinetd rpm is
installed from the distribution source (for example, your Linux installation CD) and is enabled.
To find out if xinetd is running, use a command such as:
ps -ef | grep xinetd
You should see output similar to the following:
root 3954 1 0 Jan17
? 00:00:05 /usr/sbin/xinetd root 15734 15513 0 13:38 pts/1
00:00:00 grep xinetd
If xinetd is not running, verify that it is installed as follows:
rpm -qa xinetd
You can use the chkconfig command to enable xinetd:
/sbin/chkconfig --level 35 xinetd on
