Getting Started

When the interface opens, you have a chance to choose Connect or Open.

To get acquainted with the program, you can open the supplied Example

ﬁle.

Once you are comfortable with the interface, you can Connect to your

own clusters to see current conﬁguration and status. Use Open to see

saved ﬁles of your cluster, for example to compare a current map with a

map saved for benchmark documentation. When troubleshooting, you

can save a ﬁle and send it to HP support or your own consultants.

Once you have a map in place, open Help. From the Help window’s Table

of Contents in the left pane, open Getting Started. Look at the Map

Legend topic to interpret the colors, Right click on a Tree or Map object,

and choose “Properties of <object>” from the popup menu. Each tab in

Properties has its own Help button.

It is a good idea to save a record of each of your clusters. This will help

you plan maintenance and modiﬁcations. It will acquaint new operators

with your setup. It can be used as a benchmark when troubleshooting

later.

There are Help topics about troubleshooting clusters and ServiceGuard

Manager itself.
