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

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).
