Installing Software
You can install ServiceGuard Manager on an HP-UX workstation (with
or without ServiceGuard), on a Linux workstation (with or without
ServiceGuard), or on a PC with Windows XP Professional Edition,
Windows NT, or Windows 2000 Professional.
If a previous version of ServiceGuard Manager is already installed,
uninstall it before installing the new version. See information about
uninstalling below.
Before Installing ServiceGuard Manager
When deciding where to install ServiceGuard Manager, consider the
connections from users to the server nodes, the connection from the
server nodes to cluster nodes, and creating the security you want.

and password on at least one server on the cluster’s subnets. The
server is a node with ServiceGuard A.11.12 or later.
To administer clusters on the map, these three things must be true:
— The user is logged in to the server node as root
— The server has ServiceGuard, Version A.11.14 or later installed,
with patches.
— The server node has Cluster Object Manager, Version A.01.03.01
or later.
— The server node must be allowed to interact with the target
nodes.
