Serviceguard Manager is the graphical user interface for the
Serviceguard product. With it, you can monitor, administer, and
configure clusters managed by Serviceguard, Serviceguard Extension for
RAC, Metrocluster, Continentalclusters, and Serviceguard Extension for
Faster Failover.
Serviceguard Manager replaces the functionality of the earlier
Serviceguard management tools, ClusterView and the SAM High
Availability tool. It can be launched independently, or from the
OpenView or HP Systems Insight Manager menus.
You install Serviceguard Manager on a management station, which can
be any computer running HP-UX, Linux, or Windows. From there, you
connect to a node with Serviceguard, versions A.11.13 through A.11.17,
installed. The connecting node becomes your Session Server; it will go
out on its subnets and query for information about Serviceguard objects.
You can see the discovered clusters, nodes, and packages in your session
on the tree and map, with more detail in Properties and Alerts.
An icon on the toolbar warns you about new problems, whether or not
you can see the Serviceguard object in your current view.
High-availability alerts are posted when Serviceguard Manager polls.
The Alerts window has aids for analyzing the problems.
If the Session Server and target clusters are running Serviceguard
version A.11.14 through A.11.17, you can also do the most common
administrative commands through the interface. The supported actions
are:
• Run or halt a cluster, a node, or a failover or System Multi-node
package
• Move a failover package to a new node
• Change package-switching and node-switching flags for failover
packages
If the Session Server and target nodes and cluster have Serviceguard
A.11.16 or A.11.17 installed, you can also create and modify
Serviceguard configuration of clusters and failover packages.
