Serviceguard Manager Version A.05.03 Release Notes (April 2010)

• 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 one of the following Open View products
installed:
• 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 do, the installation process 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.
If you do not have ClusterView, but you do have OVO, tools are added to the Tool Bank, ready
for an OpenView administrator to assign them. These tools are listed below.
Assign these tools carefully. Some require root access to the Serviceguard nodes, and some can
grant it indirectly.
• Serviceguard Mgr launcher: You can launch Serviceguard Manager from OpenView.
Serviceguard Manager is independent of OpenView. It does not use the OV daemons or
object database to discover the configuration or status of clusters. Instead, it gets information
by connecting to Serviceguard Version A.11.13.xx and later; then Serviceguard goes out on
its subnets and gathers the information.
• Installs these Tools to work on a selected cluster node:
— HA Info Tools:
◦ Query Cluster Conf: uses cmquerycl to gather configuration information
◦ Scan Cluster: uses cmscancl to display information about cluster configuration,
LAN cards, disks, and file systems.
◦ View Cluster Binary Config: uses cmviewconf to see an ASCII extraction of the
binary configuration file.
◦ View Cluster Config: uses cmviewcl to see cluster configuration and status of
running clusters.
◦ View System Log: opens vi editor to view /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
— HA Admin Tools:
◦ Run Cluster: uses the cmruncl command to start a cluster from the node you
selected
◦ Halt Cluster: uses the sghaltcl command (a variant of the cmhaltcl command)
to halt the cluster of the node you selected
◦ Run Node: uses the cmrunnode command to join the selected node to its cluster
◦ Halt Node: uses the cmhaltnode command to make the selected node inactive in
its cluster
— Net Diag Tools
◦ View Interface Config: displays LAN interface configuration parameters
◦ LAN Diag and Admin: launches the program lanadmin, which administers and
tests the local area network.
