Preface
This guide describes how to use the Serviceguard Extension for RAC
(Oracle Real Application Cluster) to configure Serviceguard clusters for
use with Oracle Real Application Cluster software on HP 9000 High
Availability clusters running the HP-UX operating system. The contents
are as follows:
• Chapter 1, “Introduction,” describes a Serviceguard cluster and
provides a roadmap for using this guide. This chapter should be used
as a supplement to Chapters 1–3 of Managing Serviceguard.
• Chapter 2, “Configuration,” describes the additional steps you need
to take to use Serviceguard with Real Application Clusters. This
chapter should be used as a supplement to Chapters 4–6 of
Managing Serviceguard.
• Chapter 3, “Maintenance and Troubleshooting,” describes tools and
techniques necessary for ongoing cluster operation. This chapter
should be used as a supplement to Chapters 7–8 of Managing
Serviceguard.
