• A new type of device file allows you to deploy a set of persistent device special files that is
consistent across the cluster, eliminating to risk of name-space collisions amongst the cluster
nodes. These new device special files are called cluster device special files or cDSFs.
NOTE: cDSFs can not be used in VxVM or CVM disk groups.
• New Serviceguard capabilities allow you allow you to check the soundness of the cluster
configuration, and the health of its components, more thoroughly than you could in the past,
and to do so at any time, rather than only when changing the configuration of the cluster or
its packages.
• You can now you can use NFS-mounted (imported) file systems as shared storage in packages.
• New capabilities in Serviceguard and HP Integrity Virtual Machines (HPVM) allow online
migration of a virtual machine.
See the section “Online VM Migration with Serviceguard” in the white paper Designing
high-availability solutions with HP Serviceguard and HP Integrity Virtual Machines, at
www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs → HP Serviceguard → White papers
• Serviceguard A.11.20 supports a new failover policy, site_preferred_manual, which
prevents automatic failover of a package across SITEs.
This capability can be used only in a site-aware disaster-tolerant cluster, which requires
Metrocluster (additional HP software).
NOTE: For more information on Serviceguard features and enhancements that are supported
with SG SMS version A.03.01 for HP-UX 11i v3 bundles, see the HP Serviceguard Version A.11.20
