HP Serviceguard for Linux Base Version 12.00.00 Release Notes, May 2014

IMPORTANT: After the Serviceguard Manager RPM upgrade is complete, you need to follow
the procedure described later in this section to start sgmgr service and also create a user
which can be used as a replicated user for multi-cluster management. For more information
about how to create a replicated user, see “Installing HP Serviceguard for Linux the traditional
way”.

For example, # cmrunnode -n node1
Check that the node joins the cluster successfully, and if necessary, move packages back to
the node.
8. Repeat steps from 2 to 6 for all the nodes.
