Using Serviceguard Manager
Serviceguard Manager is the graphical user interface for Serviceguard.
It is available as a “plug-in” to the System Management Homepage
(SMH). SMH is a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that replaces
SAM as the system administration GUI as of HP-UX 11i v3 (but you can
still run the SAM terminal interface; see “Using SAM” on page 32).
References to “Serviceguard Manager” in this document refer to this
version unless otherwise stated.
You can use Serviceguard Manager to monitor, administer, and configure
Serviceguard clusters on HP-UX or on Linux.
• Monitor: you can see information about Serviceguard objects on your
subnets.
• Administer: you can do administrative tasks such as run or halt
clusters and packages.
• Configure: you can create or modify clusters and packages.
Check the latest Release Notes for your version of Serviceguard for
up-to-date information about Serviceguard Manager
(http://www.docs.hp.com -> High Availability ->
Serviceguard).
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
