HP Serviceguard Version A.11.20 Release Notes, April 2011

•
Cluster Verification for Metrocluster
◦ An enhancement to the existing cluster verification feature for Metrocluster specific checks.
• Metrocluster Easy Deployment (SiteAware + NonSiteAware)
◦ If the appropriate Metrocluster, SMS, and SGeRAC bundles are found to be installed,
you will be given options for configuring a site aware Metrocluster with minimal steps.
• Package Easy Deployment
Effortlessly deploy the following modular packages with minimal user input and automatic
package dependency configuration:
◦ SGeRAC OC Toolkit package easy deployment
◦ SGeRAC RAC DB Toolkit package easy deployment
◦ ECMT Oracle Toolkit package easy deployment
◦ SGeEBS Toolkit package easy deployment
◦ Site Controller package easy deployment
For more information, see the white paper Using Easy Deployment in Serviceguard and
Metrocluster environments at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs —> HP
Serviceguard —> White papers.
• NFS Toolkit Enhancement
◦ A new parameter "SUPPORTED_NETIDS" is added in the Serviceguard Manager GUI
on HA NFS toolkit.
• SGeRAC ASM disk group package Enhancements
◦ Displays actual values in the SGeRAC RAC database and ASM disk group packages
property sheet. These parameters are removed from the configuration page display since
the user need not enter values.
• Modular CFS Package Integration (Multiple CVM Disk Groups and CFS Mount Points)
◦ You can merge multiple CVM Disk Group (DG) and CFS Mount Point (MP) packages that
are needed for a single application
Current Limitations of Serviceguard Manager
You can only monitor a Continentalcluster, but cannot configure or administer it.
Browser and SMH Issues
Pages Launched into New Window rather than Tabs with Firefox Tabbed Browsing
By design, the Serviceguard Manager logging windows are launched with a pre-specified window
size that will not obscure the original window when they are displayed. With the Firefox tabbed
browsing preference selected, if a new window has a specified size, the tabbed browsing preference
is ignored and the target page is launched in a new window instead. See the following excerpt
from Firefox support site (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/
Options+window+-+Tabs+panel):
Note: If you have chosen to open pages in new tabs, Firefox will ignore this option/preference
and will open a new window from a link if the page author specified that the new window should
have a specific size, because some pages can only be displayed correctly at a specific size.
Firefox 3.0 does not provide an API that Serviceguard Manager can use to detect or alter this
behavior. There is no workaround for this problem at this time.
