Managing Serviceguard Eighteenth Edition, September 2010
H Using Serviceguard Manager
HP Serviceguard Manager is a web-based, HP System Management Homepage (HP
SMH) tool, that replaces the functionality of the earlier Serviceguard management tools.
HP Serviceguard Manager allows you to monitor, administer and configure a
Serviceguard cluster from any system with a supported web browser.
Serviceguard Manager does not require additional software installation. Instead, using
your browser, you log into an HP Systems Management Homepage (SMH) and access
the HP Serviceguard Manager tool, as well as other system management tools.
The HP Serviceguard Manager Main Page provides you with a summary of the health
of the cluster including the status of each node and its packages.
