HP Serviceguard A.11.20 Release Notes, September 2012

Browser and SMH Issues
Pages Launched into New Window rather than Tabs with Firefox Tabbed Browsing
By design, the Serviceguard Manager logging windows are launched with a pre-specified window
size that will not obscure the original window when they are displayed. With the Firefox tabbed
browsing preference selected, if a new window has a specified size, the tabbed browsing preference
is ignored and the target page is launched in a new window instead. See the following excerpt
from Firefox support site (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/
Options+window+-+Tabs+panel):
Note: If you have chosen to open pages in new tabs, Firefox will ignore this option/preference
and will open a new window from a link if the page author specified that the new window should
have a specific size, because some pages can only be displayed correctly at a specific size.
Firefox 3.0 does not provide an API that Serviceguard Manager can use to detect or alter this
behavior. There is no workaround for this problem at this time.
Internet Explorer 7 Zooming Problem
Internet Explorer 7 introduced a "zoom" feature which allows the user to zoom in/out the page
being viewed. However, its implementation is known to have problems. HTML elements in a page
are not zoomed proportionally. As a result, the resulting page is displayed in a unpredictable
manner. Internet Explorer 8 fixed most of these problems and behaves in the same way as Firefox
3.x.
HP System Management Homepage (HPSMH) Timeout Default
In some situations (for example, when a remote cluster node is disconnected from the network),
Serviceguard commands may take longer than 30 seconds to return. In this case, if the HPSMH
3.0 UI timeout value is left at its default value (20 seconds), Serviceguard Manager information
will not be loaded correctly into the HPSMH.
To ensure Serviceguard Manager has sufficient time to execute Serviceguard commands, increase
the UI timeout value to 60 seconds (Settings -> Security -> Timeouts -> UI
timeout).
Help Subsystem
Use this section to help you become familiar with Serviceguard Manager. Once Serviceguard
Manager is running, use the tooltips by moving your mouse over a field from the read-only property
pages for a brief definition for each field. You can also access the online help by clicking the
button located in the upper-right hand corner of the screen to view overview and procedure
information. Start with the help topic Understanding the HP Serviceguard Manager Main Page.
You should read the help topic About Security, as it explains HP Serviceguard Manager Access
Control Policies, as well as root privileges.
