Support for Serviceguard A.11.20 Cluster Verification
The following are the SGeRAC specific verifications supported by cmcheckconf in Serviceguard
A.11.20:
• The SLVM VG and CVM disk groups configured for the packages are validated.
• If a cluster_interconnect_subnet is used and the verifications package type is MULTI_NODE
or not, then cluster interconnect add/delete/modify is not supported when the package is up
and running.
• If SGeRAC toolkit is used, Toolkit OC MNP, ASMDG MNP, and RAC MNP scripts existence
checks are made.
Support for the SGeRAC Toolkit
The SGeRAC Toolkit provides documentation and scripts to simplify the integration of SGeRAC
and the Oracle 10gR2/11gR1/11gR2 RAC stack. It also manages the dependency between
Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC instances with a full range of storage management options
(CFS, SLVM, CVM, ASM over SLVM).

of the MAINTENANCE_FLAG parameter. See the white paper Use of Serviceguard Extension for
