HP Serviceguard A.11.20- Managing Serviceguard Twentieth Edition, August 2011

I 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.
