Installing Software
You can install ServiceGuard Manager on an HP-UX workstation (with
or without ServiceGuard), or on a PC with Windows 2000 or Windows
NT.
If a previous version of ServiceGuard Manager is already installed,
uninstall it before installing the new version. See information about
uninstalling in the next section.
When deciding where to install ServiceGuard Manager, consider these
things:
• Which operators will use the interface?
The ServiceGuard Manager operator needs a login account on at least
one server (a node that has ServiceGuard A.11.12 or later installed).
This account does not need to have root permission to view clusters.
• Which clusters will they see, and do those cluster nodes share a
subnet with the servers?
To be displayed, a ServiceGuard cluster needs to be on the same
subnet as the server node, but not necessarily on the same subnet as
the management station. The server searches its subnets and gathers
information about clusters. It passes this information back to the
management station where ServiceGuard Manager is installed.
The server and clusters must have permission to exchange
information. Include each cluster node in the
/etc/cmcluster/cmclnodelist of all the other cluster nodes, or in
the .rhosts file.
There are three ways to install ServiceGuard Manager:
• On an HP-UX system from disk
• On a Windows system from disk
• On a Windows system by importing a file from an HP-UX installation
Installation is different for each type. Use the appropriate section below
for your type of installation.
