and 11i v2 (11.23) The first release of 11i v2 includes the Cluster Object
Manager (COM) Version B.03.00. The 11i v2 September 2004 update,
however, includes COM Version B.03.00.01. The COM is the API
(application programmable interface) that enables communication
between Serviceguard objects and Serviceguard Manager, the graphical
user interface.
All the nodes in a cluster should have the same version of the COM.
Version B.03.00.01 is recommended. Use the swlist command to see the
version of COM (B8324).
