New Licensing Method
Serviceguard for Linux A.11.19 is shipped with an instant-on license valid for 90 days.
This allows you to start using Serviceguard A.11.19 even if you do not yet have a
permanent license. Before this grace period elapses, you must either get a permanent
license or renew the existing instant-on license with a new evaluation license. See
“Obtaining and Installing a Permanent License” (page 40).
The instant-on license is automatically installed with the autopass rpm, and is activated
when Serviceguard is used for the first time. The license key is installed in the file
$SGCONF/AutoPass/LicFile.txt.
IMPORTANT: Do not delete this file.
New Cluster Manager
Serviceguard A.11.19 introduces a new cluster manager. In a running cluster, this affects
node timeout and failover and cluster re-formation, providing significant performance
improvements; see the discussion of MEMBER_TIMEOUT under “Cluster Configuration
Parameters” in the latest version of Managing Serviceguard for Linux for more information.
