Differences from A.05.01
The following are differences between B.01.01 and A.05.01:

only the local cluster and depends on HP SIM (Systems Insight Manager) to provide
multi-cluster view.
• NOTE: For more information about SIM, go to http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim
and follow the Information Library link for access to white papers and other
documents.
• Cluster topology map is replaced by HP Serviceguard Manager main page.
