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.
NOTE HP Serviceguard Manager has a new web-based, (SIM) Systems Insight
Management/ System Management Homepage (SMH) application,
version B.01.00, that you can use to simplify the management of
Serviceguard version 11.17.01. Refer to the Serviceguard Release Notes
(B3935-90096) for more information.
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.11.15.00 through
A.11.17.01, 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 alerts icon on the toolbar warns you about new problems, whether or
not you can see the Serviceguard object in your current view. Clicking on
the alerts icon shows high availability alerts, and the Alerts window has
information for analyzing the problems.
