HP Serviceguard Version A.11.19 Release Notes, October 2009

Quorum Server Upgrade Required if You Are Using an Alternate Address
If you are using an Alternate Quorum Server Subnet (page 45), you must upgrade the
Quorum Server to version A.04.00 before you upgrade the cluster to Serviceguard
A.11.19.
CAUTION: If you fail to do this, the upgraded cluster will be running without a cluster
lock until you have upgraded the Quorum Server.
Serviceguard Manager Available from the System Management Homepage (SMH)
For details, see “Serviceguard Manager” (page 32).
NOTE: The earlier, station-management version of Serviceguard Manager is obsolete
(as of Serviceguard A.11.18). The last version of Serviceguard that supports that product
is A.11.17 (A.11.17.01 on HP-UX 11i v3).
Support for Mixed-OS Clusters (HP–UX 11i v2 and 11i v3)
With some limitations, HP now supports Serviceguard clusters in which some nodes
are running HP-UX 11i v2 and some 11i v3. See “Mixed Clusters” (page 52).
New Support for Version 5.0.1 of Veritas Products from Symantec
With the patches listed under “October 2009 Patches” (page 11) Serviceguard A.11.19
on HP-UX 11i v3 supports version 5.0.1 of Veritas VxVM, CVM and CFS from Symantec.

As of A.11.19, the only supported versions of CVM and CFS are 5.0 and 5.0.1 on HP-UX
11i v3, and 5.0 (only) on HP-UX 11i v2.
VxVM 4.1 is still supported with Serviceguard A.11.19 on HP-UX 11i v3 only; on 11i
