Serviceguard Extension for RAC Version A.11.17 Release Notes
What’s in this Version
Chapter 114
NOTE The enhancement in version A.11.17 will perform the homogeneity
check to verify the nodes are either all SGeRAC or Serviceguard
nodes without any manual intervention. For versions prior to
A.11.17, there is no homogeneity check during a rolling upgrade to
A.11.17.
• Cluster Volume Manager (CVM) and Cluster File System (CFS) from
Symantec are not yet supported with Serviceguard A.11.17.01 on
HP-UX 11i v3.
• Rolling upgrade is not supported from releases prior to version
A.11.15
• SGeRAC does not support a rolling upgrade from Cluster Volume
Manager (CVM) version 3.5 to Cluster Volume Manager (CVM)
version 4.1.
• Mixed clusters. All cluster nodes must be either HP 9000 or HP
Integrity servers, but not both in the same cluster.
See “Announcements” on page 5 for more information.
For a complete list of Serviceguard A.11.17 or A.11.17.01 features and
limitations, refer to either the Serviceguard Version A.11.17 Release
Notes or Serviceguard Version A.11.17 on HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes.
Support for the SGeRAC Toolkit
The SGeRAC Toolkit provides documentation and scripts to simplify the
integration of SGeRAC and the Oracle 10g RAC stack. It also manages
the dependency between Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC instances
with a full range of storage management options supported in the
Serviceguard/SGeRAC environment.
The framework provided by the SGeRAC toolkit is unique in the high
level of multi-vendor (Oracle, Symantec, HP) and multi-storage platform
(CFS, SLVM, CVM, ASM over SLVM) integration it offers.
SGeRAC toolkit uses the Multi-Node Package and Simple package
dependency features introduced by HP Serviceguard/SGeRAC version
A.11.17, which provides a uniform, easy-to-manage and intuitive method
to coordinate the operations of the SGeRAC and Oracle Clusterware
