Managing Serviceguard Eighteenth Edition, September 2010

You can use Serviceguard Manager to monitor, administer, and configure Serviceguard
clusters.
• You can see properties, status, and alerts of clusters, nodes, and packages.
• You can do administrative tasks such as run or halt clusters, cluster nodes, and
packages.
• Yyou can create or modify a cluster and its packages.
Monitoring Clusters with Serviceguard Manager
From the main page of Serviceguard Manager, you can see status and alerts for the
cluster, nodes, and packages. You can also drill down to see the configuration and
alerts of the cluster, nodes, and packages.
Administering Clusters with Serviceguard Manager
Serviceguard Manager allows you administer clusters, nodes, and packages if access
control policies permit:
• Cluster: halt, run
• Cluster nodes: halt, run
• Package: halt, run, move from one node to another, reset node- and
package-switching flags
Configuring Clusters with Serviceguard Manager
You can configure clusters and packages in Serviceguard Manager. You must have
root (UID=0) access to the cluster nodes.
Starting Serviceguard Manager
To start the Serviceguard Manager plug-in in your web browser from the System
Management Homepage, click on the link to Serviceguard Cluster or a particular
cluster. Then select a cluster, node, or package, and use the drop-down menus below
the “Serviceguard Manager” banner to navigate to the task you need to do.
Use Serviceguard Manager’s built-in help to guide you through the tasks; this manual
will tell you if a task can be done in Serviceguard Manager but does not duplicate the
help.
Using SAM
You can use SAM, the System Administration Manager, to do many of the HP-UX
system administration tasks described in this manual (that is, tasks, such as configuring
disks and filesystems, that are not specifically Serviceguard tasks).
To launch SAM, enter
/usr/sbin/sam
