Metrocluster Easy Deployment
One of the following products needs to be pre-installed to use the Metrocluster Easy Deployment
feature:
• HP Metrocluster with Continuous Access for P9000 and XP A.11.00 PHSS_41664 or superseding
patch
• HP Metrocluster with Continuous Access EVA A.05.01 PHSS_41660 or superseding patch
• HP Metrocluster with EMC SRDF A.09.01 PHSS_41662 or superseding patch
The Metrocluster Easy Deployment feature simplifies the configuration process by:
• Defining sites and associating nodes with these sites
• Ensuring that the quorum server is used for arbitration
Continentalclusters Easy Deployment
The cluster configured using Easy Deployment in Serviceguard Manager can be used as a primary
cluster or a recovery cluster of Continentalclusters. However, cluster Easy Deployment doesn’t support
Continentalclusters configuration steps like preparing a Continentalclusters configuration file, setting
up Continentalclusters monitoring daemons, configuring logical or physical data replication, and
creating recovery packages.
