After you complete the upgrade, use cmgetconf to create and save a copy of the
new configuration. If you do a cmapplyconf, you want to be sure it applies the
newly migrated Access Control Policies.
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.
