HP Serviceguard Quorum Server Version A.04.00 Release Notes, March 2009

IMPORTANT: The alternate-subnet capability is available only for Serviceguard A.11.17
on HP-UX 11i v2 with patch PHSS_35427, and for Serviceguard A.11.18 (with October
2007 or later patch) and A.11.19 on both HP-UX and Linux.
See the latest version of the corresponding Serviceguard A.11.18 Release Notes for
required patches for Serviceguard A.11.18.
Quorum Server version A.04.00 is required if you are using an alternate subnet for
communication with a Serviceguard A.11.19 cluster, and must be installed before you
upgrade the cluster to A.11.19.
You will need to apply Cluster Object Manger (COM) patch PHSS_35372 in order to
use the older, station-management version of Serviceguard Manager to manage a cluster
that uses more than one subnet for communication with the Quorum Server.
For complete compatibility information, see the Quorum Server Compatibility Matrix
posted at docs.hp.com -> High Availability -> Quorum Server.
Installing the Quorum Server
Read this entire document and any other Release Notes or READMEs you may have
before you begin an installation.
The Quorum Server software, which has to be running during cluster configuration,
must be installed on a system other than the nodes on which your cluster will be
running. This could be a single Linux or HP-UX system, or it could be a separate cluster.
If you are updating from an older version of Quorum Server, see the instructions below.
IMPORTANT: Order is important if you are updating Quorum Server and also updating
Serviceguard. You must update Quorum Server before updating Serviceguard. See the
instructions below.
Installing on HP-UX
Use the swinstall command to install the Quorum Server, product number B8467BA,
on the system or systems where it will run. You must install the Quorum Server on a
node outside the cluster (or clusters) that it will serve. The only installation required
on the clusters that use the Quorum Server lock is Serviceguard itself.
If you are updating from an earlier version of Quorum Server, skip to the upgrading
instructions below.
To install from the web, go to http://software.hp.com. Select High
Availability, then HP Serviceguard Quorum Server for HP-UX.
1. Download B8467BA version A.04.00, and store it to disk.
2. Run the swinstall command on this depot. Select B8467BA A.04.00 Quorum
Server.
