Overview of Serviceguard Manager
NOTE: For more-detailed information, see the section on Serviceguard Manager in the latest
version of the Serviceguard Release Notes. Check the Serviceguard/SGeRAC/SMS/Serviceguard
Manager Plug-in Compatibility and Feature Matrix and the latest Release Notes for up-to-date
information about Serviceguard Manager compatibility. You can find both documents at
www.hp.com/go/ hpux-serviceguard-docs —> HP Serviceguard.
Serviceguard Manager is the graphical user interface for Serviceguard. It is available as a “plug-in”
to the System Management Homepage (SMH). SMH is a web-based graphical user interface (GUI)
that replaces SAM as the system administration GUI as of HP-UX 11i v3 (you can still run the SAM
terminal interface).
You can use Serviceguard Manager to monitor, administer, and configure Serviceguard clusters.
• You can see properties, status, and alerts of clusters, nodes, and packages.
• You can do administrative tasks such as run or halt clusters, cluster nodes, and packages.
• You can create or modify a cluster and its packages.
Starting Serviceguard Manager
To start the Serviceguard Manager plug-in in your web browser from the System Management
Homepage, click on the link to Serviceguard Cluster or a particular cluster. Then select a
cluster, node, or package, and use the drop-down menus below Serviceguard Manager to navigate
to a task.
Use Serviceguard Manager’s built-in help to guide you through the tasks; this manual will tell you
if a task can be done in Serviceguard Manager but does not duplicate the help.
Monitoring Clusters with Serviceguard Manager
From the main page of Serviceguard Manager, you can see status and alerts for the cluster, nodes,
and packages. You can also drill down to see the configuration and alerts of the cluster, nodes,
and packages.
Administering Clusters with Serviceguard Manager
Serviceguard Manager allows you administer clusters, nodes, and packages if access control
policies permit:
• Cluster: halt, run
• Cluster nodes: halt, run
• Package: halt, run, move from one node to another, reset node- and package-switching flags
