the following Serviceguard Manager operations are supported in a Metrocluster
environment:
• Configuration, monitoring , and administration of Metrocluster modular packages.
• Configuring, monitoring, and administration of site aware clusters.
However, the following restriction applies:
• A Metrocluster package configuration requires a system administrator to configure
data replication, which is not supported by Serviceguard Manager. This step needs
to be performed by the administrator outside of HP Serviceguard Manager.
