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

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 host systems 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 thedirectory.)

An update can be done while the cluster the Quorum Server system is running, but the Quorum
Server’s tie-breaking services will not be available while the update is in progress (see “Replacing
