1 Introduction
The Enterprise Cluster Master Toolkit (ECMT) is a set of templates and scripts that allow the
configuration of Serviceguard packages for internet servers and for third-party Database
Management Systems. This unified set of high availability tools is being released on HP-UX 11i v2
and 11i v3.
Each Toolkit is a set of scripts specifically for an individual application to start, stop, and monitor
the application.
This set also helps to integrate popular applications into a Serviceguard cluster.
The ECMT is a collection of toolkits for popular applications, to integrate them with the Serviceguard
environment. ECMT consists of the following toolkits:
Toolkits for database applications:
• Oracle Toolkit
• Sybase Toolkit
• DB2 Toolkit
• MySQL Toolkit
• EnterpriseDB PPAS toolkit
Toolkits for internet applications:
• Apache Toolkit
• Tomcat Toolkit
• CIFS (Samba) Toolkit
For more information on the application versions supported by toolkit, see the compatibility matrix
at HP Serviceguard Toolkit Compatibility Matrix (published April 2011 or later). See www.hp.com/
go/hpux-serviceguard-docs -> HP Serviceguard Enterprise Cluster Master Toolkit.
All toolkits bundled with ECMT, except the Sybase toolkit, support both the modular style and the
legacy style of packaging. The Sybase toolkit supports only Modular style of packaging. HP
recommends that you use the modular style of packaging because it has multiple advantages over
the legacy style of packaging. For more information on the modular style of packaging see the
latest Managing Serviceguard manual at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs —>HP
Serviceguard.
Users can use either the CLI or the Serviceguard Manager interface to create the packages using
toolkits. For information, see the http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs —>HP
Serviceguard Manager.
The following toolkits support deploying of applications over cluster file systems (CFS) storage.
• Oracle
• Apache
• Samba
When these toolkits are deployed over the CFS storage, it can reduce failover time for single
instance applications.
Packages created using an ECMT toolkit log messages to the package log file, and toolkit can
also send alert mails whenever there is a major issue with the package. The location of the log
and mail id is configurable for each package.
Apart from the ECMT Toolkit, there is a set of other toolkits and application extensions which can
be used to integrate other applications in Serviceguard. Table 1 (page 8) shows the Toolkit name
and the applications supported by each of the toolkits.
