Serviceguard at a Glance
Using Serviceguard Manager
Chapter 1 31
Administering Clusters with Serviceguard Manager
Serviceguard Manager allows you 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 legacy packages in Serviceguard
Manager; modular packages must be configured by means of
Serviceguard commands (see “How the Package Manager Works” on
page 74; Chapter 6, “Configuring Packages and Their Services,” on
page 275; and “Configuring a Legacy Package” on page 377). 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.
Use Serviceguard Manager’s built-in help to guide you through the
tasks; this manual will tell you if a task can be done in Serviceguard
Manager but does not duplicate the help.
