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

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.
The Quorum Server executable file, qs, is installed in the /usr/lbin directory. When the
installation is complete, you need to create an authorization file on the server where the Quorum
Server will be running, to allow specific cluster nodes to obtain quorum services. See “Creating
and Updating the Authorization File” (page 18).
Now create a directory for the Quorum Server log file. The recommended pathnames are in
Table 1-2 (page 17). (You may need to create the directory.)
Installing on Linux
The install command for Linux uses the complete version name. The current version is A.04.00.
Before installing, you can see the complete version name in the file name; after installing, you
can get it by using the command rpm -q qs.
1. Either download B8467BA version A.04.00 and store it to disk, or get it from the appropriate
directory on the HP Serviceguard for Linux CD.
2. From the directory that contains the file, use the rpm command to install the version you
need, as in the following examples.
Example 1 (for Red Hat i386):
rpm -ihv qs-A.04.00.00-0.rhel5.i386.rpm
Example 2 (for SUSE SLES 10 i386):
rpm -ihv qs-A.04.00.00-0.sles10.i386.rpm
For SUSE SLES 11, use one of the following commands:
• on an i386 system:
rpm -ihv qs-A.04.00.00-0.sles10.i386.rpm
• on an x86–64 system:
rpm -ihv qs-A.04.00.00-0.sles11.x86_64.rpm
• on an IA64 system:
rpm -ihv qs-A.04.00.00-0.sles10.IA64.rpm
NOTE: On SLES 11 i386 and IA64 systems, use the SLES 10 rpm; on an x86_64 SLES 11 system,
use the SLES 11 rpm.
The Quorum Server executable file, qs, is installed on Red Hat in the /usr/local/qs/bin
directory, and on SUSE in the/opt/qs/bin directory.
