Using Easy Deployment in Serviceguard and Metrocluster environments on HP-UX 11i v3

2
Executive summary
This document describes the Easy Deployment feature that is available with Serviceguard A.11.20
plus PHSS_41628 or later. Easy Deployment provides an intuitive and straightforward configuration
solution to users in a clustered environment. It not only enables users to configure a cluster and cluster
wide storage with a single command, but also greatly simplifies configuration of packages for
popular applications. It avoids the need for demanding deployment wizards and filling of parameters
in complex configuration files. With Easy Deployment, most of the cluster/package attributes are auto-
discovered, and storage or application prerequisites are automatically resolved. Thus, the user can
accomplish a deployment procedure with minimal manual input. This also significantly reduces the
learning curve required to deploy complex applications in a Serviceguard environment.
Easy Deployment is made available to users by way of Serviceguard Manager B.03.10 and
Serviceguard command-line tools/commands. The Serviceguard Manager Easy Deployment
interfaces, coupled with Serviceguard’s command line tools, present the user with a dramatically
simple yet flexible deployment process.
