Continentalclusters Version A.08.00 Release Notes, April2011 (5900-1485)

IMPORTANT: Do not modify, delete, start, or stop this package using Serviceguard
commands.
Support for Modular Packages
Starting with Continentalclusters Version A.08.00, it is recommended to configure
packages in a recovery group as modular style packages. The Continentalclusters monitor
package on the recovery cluster can be configured as a modular package using the
Continentalclusters supplied modular configuration file template. Other packages in the
primary and recovery cluster which are configured in a recovery group as
PRIMARY_PACKAGE, RECOVERY_PACKAGE, REHEARSAL_PACKAGE, DATA_SENDER
or DATA_RECEIVER package can also be configured as modular packages using the
Serviceguard supported modules.
When using any of the pre-integrated physical replication such as Continuous Access
XP, Continuous Access EVA or EMC Symmetrix SRDF, modular packages configured as
primary or recovery packages must include the appropriate replication specific module
for the Continentalclusters environment.
For more information on configuring modular packages in Continentalclusters, see chapter
2 of the Designing Disaster Recovery HA Clusters using Metrocluster and
Continentalclusters available at: www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs.
Support for Modular CFS Packages
Starting with Continentalclusters version A.08.00, Continentalclusters supports modular
CFS packages introduced in Serviceguard A.11.20 April 2011 patch PHSS_41628.
When the complex workloads are configured in Continentalclusters using SADTA, in
order to configure modular CFS package, the Metrocluster Data Replication Enabler
Toolkit A.10.00 patch PHSS_41656 and SG-CFS A.11.20 patch PHSS_41674 or later,
is required. With the modular CFS package support, you can optionally combine all the
CVM disk groups and the CFS mount points required by an application into a single
package. As a result, the number of packages in the cluster reduces and manageability
of Serviceguard configuration improves.
