Cost-Effective High-Availability Solutions with HP Instant Capacity on HP-UX

• As noted previously, failback with virtual partitions requires a restore operation before the failed

virtual partitions begin the reboot process. Because Serviceguard is started after the initial boot-up

of the virtual partition, manual intervention is likely required for this failback case rather than using

automated scripts under the control of Serviceguard.

• Careful thought must be given to the possibility and consequences of split groups when automating

group manager failover and especially, automated failback to a group manager.

• Finally, note that rights seizure does require root access to the Group Manager system through

some mechanism such as remsh, ssh, or your own secure remote connection.
