Serviceguard at a Glance
Using Serviceguard Manager
Chapter 1 29
Monitoring Clusters with Serviceguard Manager
You can see all the clusters the server can reach, or you can list specific
clusters. You can also see all the unused nodes on the subnet - that is, all
the Serviceguard nodes that are not currently configured in a cluster.
Administering Clusters with Serviceguard Manager
You can administer clusters, nodes, and packages if access control
policies permit:
• Cluster: halt, run
• Cluster nodes: halt, run
• Package: halt, run, move from one node to another, reset node- and
package-switching flags
Configuring Clusters with Serviceguard Manager
You can configure clusters and packages. You must have root (UID=0)
access to the cluster nodes.
Starting Serviceguard Manager
• To start the Serviceguard Manager plug-in in your web browser from
the System Management Homepage, click on the link to
Serviceguard Cluster or a particular cluster. Then select a cluster,
node, or package, and use the drop-down menus below the
“Serviceguard Manager” banner to navigate to the task you need to
do.
• To start the Serviceguard management application
— on a Unix or Linux management station, use the sgmgr
command. You can enter the options on the command line, or in a
dialog box after the GUI opens. For command syntax and options,
enter man sgmgr on the command line.
— on a Windows management station, double-click the icon on your
desktop. To see or change the actual command used, right click
the icon and choose Properties. See Help -> Troubleshooting
for command syntax and options.
