Using Serviceguard Manager
Serviceguard Manager is the graphical user interface for Serviceguard.
The Serviceguard Manager management station can be HP-UX, Linux,
and Windows systems. From there, you can monitor, administer, and
configure Serviceguard clusters on HP-UX or on Linux.
• Monitor: You can see information about Serviceguard objects on your
subnets. The objects are represented in a hierarchal tree, in a
graphical map. More information is available in the object’s
Properties.
• Administer: You can do administrative tasks through Serviceguard
Manager, such as run or halt clusters and packages. These clusters
must have Serviceguard Version A.11.12 and later.
• Configure: You can create or modify cluster and package
configuration. These clusters must have Serviceguard Version
A.11.16 and later.
Refer to the latest Serviceguard Manager Release Notes for additional
information about Serviceguard Manager; they are posted at
http://docs.hp.com -> high availability -> Serviceguard.
Serviceguard Manager can be downloaded free from the Serviceguard
Distributed Components Disk that comes with your Serviceguard disks,
or from http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot.
Monitoring with Serviceguard Manager
From a management station, connect to a Serviceguard node to be your
session server. You can request to see all the clusters the server can
reach, or you can list specific clusters. You can also request to see all the
unused nodes on the subnet - that is, all the Serviceguard nodes that are
not currently configured in a cluster.
