You can do administration commands to any ServiceGuard cluster

objects on your map, whether the cluster is running on Linux or HP-UX.

The commands are issued to the cluster through an eligible HP-UX

Now, ServiceGuard Manager can be launched from ServiceControl

Manager (see http://www.software.hp.com/products/SCMGR/).

Now, ServiceGuard Manager displays information about quorum server,

a type of arbitration method like a cluster lock. If two equal groups of

nodes try to reform the cluster after afailure,the group that ﬁrst reaches

this arbitrator will reform the cluster. If a quorum server is conﬁgured,

information about it is in its cluster’s Properties. If there is a status

alert, a quorum server badge appears on the map near the cluster icon.
