Setting up ServiceGuard Manager
Making a Highly Available Connection
You can create a ServiceGuard package that will keep your connection
highly available. If there is a failure in the connection, you will see the
“Connection Dropped” message flash momentarily, but ServiceGuard will
maintain your connection.
ServiceGuard Manager gets its information by connecting to the Object
Manager, a component of ServiceGuard A.11.12 or later. The Object
Manager discovers other ServiceGuard objects on its subnets. It collects
status and configuration information to send back to ServiceGuard
Manager.
To set up the highly-available connection, follow these steps:
1. Create the package in a cluster with ServiceGuard A.11.12 or later.
See “Creating the Package Configuration” chapter in the
ServiceGuard manual. All ServiceGuard manuals are posted on the

a. When naming the package, choose one that your users will
recognize, such as Clus3Srvr. The first time a user opens
ServiceGuard Manager they will see the Connect dialog box. They
can type this name in for Server. After that, the name will appear
in a list every time that user opens ServiceGuard Manager.
b. Get an IP address to use as the package’s relocatable address. You
can use nslookup to be sure the package name and IP address are
correctly associated in your DNS table.
c. Make only these two modifications to the package configuration
file template, and leave the defaults for the other fields:
• List the package nodes. For high-availability, it is best to list all
the nodes in the cluster.
• For the run and halt scripts pathname, specify the control
script name and path for the run and halt script. (The default
path is in the documentation.)
d. Open the control script template. Make just two modifications.
These will allow the connection between your client (ServiceGuard
