HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Version A.02.01 for HP-UX 11iv3 Release Notes, Edition 2 (May 2010)

• A quorum server can support up to 150 clusters comprising up to 300 nodes. The previous
limits were 50 clusters and 100 nodes. The new limits are supported in Quorum Server
versions A.02.04 and later.
• There are new Serviceguard demons:
— Service Assistant Daemon: cmserviced (replaces cmsrvassistd)
— Cluster WBEM Agent Daemon: cmwbemd
— Proxy Daemon: cmproxyd
• A new cluster parameter, NETWORK_AUTO_FAILBACK, tells Serviceguard how to handle
the recovery of the primary LAN interface after it has failed over to the standby interface
because of a link level failure.
• A new parameter, CONFIGURED_IO_TIMEOUT_EXTENSION, must be set for
extended-distance clusters using iFCP interconnects between sites.
• Support for HP-UX agile addressing, sometimes also called persistent LUN binding, for
device special files (DSFs).
• Supports for HP-UX native multipathing and load balancing.
• There are new networking capabilities:
— The HP-UX olrad -C command now identifies network interface cards (NICs) that are
part of the Serviceguard cluster configuration. You can remove a NIC from the cluster
configuration, and then from the system, without bringing down the cluster.
— Serviceguard now also supports the LAN Monitor mode of APA
• Support of Process IDs (PIDs) of any size, up to the maximum value supported by HP-UX
and the node’s underlying hardware architecture. Previous versions of HP-UX imposed a
limit of 30,000; this limit has been removed as of HP-UX 11i v3.
