Compartments in HP Serviceguard Clusters
If you use compartments with HP Serviceguard, you must configure all Serviceguard daemons
in the default INIT compartment. However, you can configure Serviceguard packages in other
compartments. Refer to the latest editions of Managing Serviceguard and Using Serviceguard
Extension for RAC for daemons required in Serviceguard and Serviceguard extensions for RAC
cluster.
Serviceguard packages can belong to specific compartments. Applications monitored as part of
a Serviceguard package can also be configured in specific compartments. When you set up the
compartment for a package, be sure that the resources required by that package (such as volume
groups, file systems, network addresses, and so on) are accessible by that compartment.
Compartment rules are node-specific and do not get carried over during Serviceguard failover
operations. To ensure proper operation after a failover, all nodes in the cluster must have identical
compartment configurations.
When a primary LAN interface fails over to a standby LAN interface, the compartment label of
the primary interface is automatically copied over to the standby interface as long as the standby
is not online. If the standby interface is already configured online, the standby interface and the
primary interface must be configured in the same compartment to fail over successfully. If the
standby interface is configured in a different compartment from the primary interface, but is
offline at the time of the failover, the standby interface is updated to the primary interface
compartment configuration when the interface fails over.
To maintain proper Serviceguard operations when deploying security containment features to
HP Serviceguard nodes or packages:
• Do not modify the INIT compartment specifications in any way.
• Ensure inetd runs in the INIT compartment.
• Ensure that all Serviceguard daemons in a cluster run in the INIT compartment. For example,
the daemons for Serviceguard Version A.11.16 include cmclconfd, cmcld, cmlogd, cmlvmd,
cmomd, and cmsnmpd. Refer to Managing Serviceguard for a list of all Serviceguard daemons.
• Ensure that all Serviceguard cluster requirements are met for Serviceguard Extensions for
RAC clusters. Additionally, clusters with Serviceguard Extension for RAC Version A.11.16
need the cmsmgd daemon to run in the INIT compartment. Oracle Real Application Cluster
(RAC) processes must have access to the libnmapi2 library, and must communicate with
cmsmgd. Refer to Using Serviceguard Extension for RAC for required daemons and libraries.
• Do not configure standby LAN interfaces in a compartment.
• Set up the compartments and rules identically on all nodes in the cluster. Compartments
and rules are specific to a system and do not get carried over when a system fails over.
NOTE: If a standby interface is configured in a compartment, running the setrules command
applies this compartment to the standby interface even if it has been successfully switched from
a primary interface. If the configured standby interface compartment does not match the primary
interface compartment, the primary interface compartment is overwritten when you run
setrules. This can cause security violations.
There are no changes made to the Serviceguard scripts to facilitate the use of compartments,
fine-grained privileges, or RBAC.
