Features Introduced Before A.11.20
The following subsections discuss important features that were added to Serviceguard in recent
releases and patches. All of these features have been carried forward into A.11.20.
Features First Introduced in Serviceguard A.11.19 Patches
Listed below are features originally introduced in patches to Serviceguard version A.11.19.
• Support for CFS, VxVM and CVM version 5.0.1 on HP-UX 11i v3 only.
• Improved support for IPv6, including support for IPv6–only hosts.
See the section “About Hostname Address Families: IPv4-Only, IPv6-Only, and Mixed Mode”
in chapter 4 of Managing Serviceguard, at the address given under “Documents for This
Version” (page 34).
• Improved support for online package maintenance.
See “Maintaining a Package: Maintenance Mode” in chapter 7 of Managing Serviceguard.
• Support for Dynamic Root Disk (DRD) on HP-UX 11i v3.
See “Upgrade Using DRD” (page 44).
• New Serviceguard Manager capabilities; see “Serviceguard Manager” (page 25).
• New -K option for cmgetconf.
This causes cmgetconf to skip probing of volume groups, allowing the command to complete
faster; the resulting cluster configuration file will not contain a list of cluster-aware volume
groups. See cmgetconf (1m) for more information.
