Serviceguard Manager Version A.05.02 Release Notes, 2nd Edition, May 2009

NOTE:
• Serviceguard Manager installs its own Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and cannot use any
other JRE already on the computer.
• If you have Network Node Manager installed on this computer, see Installing with OpenView,
below.
• If you are updating from an earlier version of Serviceguard Manager, your user preference
files are replaced with default settings. The new preference files are compatible with
architecture changes in Serviceguard Manager Version A.03.00.01 and later. Your old
preferences cannot be carried over.
Installing with HP Systems Insight Manager
When you install Serviceguard Manager, it looks to see if you have installed Systems Insight
Manager version 5.2 or later. If you have, the Serviceguard Manager install process automatically
registers with Systems Insight Manager, and you can launch Serviceguard Manager from within
Systems Insight Manager.
Serviceguard Manager requires Java Plug-in 1.5.0 or later to be installed on the client system.
If you want to install Systems Insight Manager after you have Serviceguard Manager installed,
registration is not automatically done. In this situation, uninstall Serviceguard Manager, and
then re-install it.
Installing with HP OpenView
When you install Serviceguard Manager, it looks to see if you have installed one of these
OpenView products:
• NNM (Network Node Manager) Version 7.0, 6.31, 6.3, and 6.2.
• OpenView Operations Version 7.0 and 8.0. (OVO includes NNM.)
• VPO Version 6.0. Serviceguard Manager does not support VPW (Vantage Point for Windows)
or Operations for Windows.
If you have installed any of these, the install process automatically does these things:
• Adds a menu item and a button on the toolbar of NNM or OVO to start Serviceguard Manager
("Serviceguard Mgr Launcher").
• Sends Serviceguard events to be logged in the Event Log. The Serviceguard subagent is
responsible for notifying the management station when status or configuration changes. By
default, it is installed in /usr/lbin/cmsnmpd.
• Adds Serviceguard messages to the OVO Message Browser if assigned, and in the NNM
Alarm Browser.
• Modifies the Event Configuration Tool so you can set up automatic actions and filter
Serviceguard messages.
• Lets you configure the data collection to get historical MIB data from network nodes,
including data stored in Serviceguard MIB objects. The Serviceguard subagent services the
Serviceguard MIB objects. By default, it is installed in /usr/lbin/cmsnmpd.
NOTE: OpenView and NNM both support the Japanese language variables C and ja_JPSJIS.
NNM also supports ja_JP.eucJP, but OpenView does not support eucJP.
Then the installation process looks to see if you have OVO Version 7 or later, or VPO 6.0 or later.
If you do, it checks to see if you also have ClusterView.
If you do have ClusterView installed, no files will be overwritten. The launcher will be installed,
so you can open an instance of Serviceguard Manager from the OpenView menu.
