HP Serviceguard Version A.11.18 Release Notes, September 2008

Considerations when Installing Serviceguard
When you install Serviceguard for the first time on a node, the node is not yet part of
a cluster, and so there is no Access Control Policy. For instructions on how to proceed,
see the subsection “Allowing Root Access to an Unconfigured Node” under
“Configuring Root-Level Access” in Chapter 5 of the Managing Serviceguard manual.
About the Serviceguard Manager SMH Plug-In
HP Serviceguard Manager B.01.01 is a web-based, HP System Management Homepage
(HP SMH) plug-in application, that replaces the functionality of the earlier Serviceguard
management tools. HP Serviceguard Manager allows you to monitor, administer and
configure a Serviceguard A.11.18 cluster from any system with a web browser.
Unlike previous Serviceguard management tools, Serviceguard Manager does not
require additional software installation. Instead, using your browser, you log into an
HP Systems Management Homepage (SMH) and access HP Serviceguard Manager
tool, as well as other system management tools.
HP Serviceguard Manager Main Page provides you with a summary of the health of
the cluster including the status of each node and each package.
DSAU Integration
HP Serviceguard Manager uses Distributed Systems Administration Utilities (DSAU)
to display consolidated cluster log (syslog) and consolidated package logs.
You can find more information on DSAU in the Distributed Systems Administration
Utilities User’s Guide, available from http://docs.hp.com -> Network and
Systems Management -> System Administration.
Native Language Support
HP Serviceguard Manager Version B.01.01 is available in English, Japanese, Korean,
Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, French, German, Spanish, and Italian.
