5 Building an HA Cluster
Configuration
This chapter and the next take you through the configuration tasks
required to set up a Serviceguard cluster. These procedures are carried
out on one node, called the configuration node, and the resulting
binary file is distributed by Serviceguard to all the nodes in the cluster.
In the examples in this chapter, the configuration node is named ftsys9,
and the sample target node is called ftsys10. This chapter describes the
following cluster configuration tasks:
• “Preparing Your Systems” on page 200
• “Setting up the Quorum Server” on page 217
• “Installing and Updating Serviceguard” on page 200
• “Creating a Storage Infrastructure with LVM” on page 222
• “Creating a Storage Infrastructure with VxVM” on page 228 (on
systems that support it)
• “Configuring the Cluster” on page 234
• “Managing the Running Cluster” on page 264
Configuring packages is described in the next chapter.
