updated for June
2003
MC/ServiceGuard has been updated to version 11.15 with the following changes:
• Support for IPv6, with some restrictions which are listed in the product Release
Notes.
•The cmrunnode and cmruncl commands now do a validation check of networks by
default. ServiceGuard probes the existing network setup to be sure it matches the
information in its configuration files. The check is recommended, but can be skipped
with an option.
• ServiceGuard configuration commands cmcheckconf and cmapplyconf have a new
option that enables these commands to respond faster on systems with large storage
networks, such as a SAN. With the -K option, ServiceGuard will check connectivity
for only the cluster lock volume groups, and will skip all other LVM volume groups.
• The user's manual Managing MC/ServiceGuard (B3936-90065) has been revised
and corrected for this release.
• MC/ServiceGuard no longer supports the use of FibreChannel networking for the
heartbeat or data LAN, except on releases prior to A.11.12
• MC/ServiceGuard A.11.15 supports up to 200 relocatable package IP addresses per
cluster. This can be a combination of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
• On Ethernet networks, MC/ServiceGuard supports local failover between network
interfaces configured with “Ethernet protocol” or between network interfaces
configured with “SNAP encapsulation within IEEE 802.3 protocol.” You cannot use
both protocols on the same interface, nor can you have a local failover between
interfaces that are using different protocols.
• In a cluster, you cannot attach both PCI and NIO F/W SCSI adapters on a shared
SCSI bus.
• Support for the HyperFabric product (B6257AA) is provided for some configurations.
• In a vPars (virtual partitions) environment, the multi-function I/O card (HP product
number A5838A) is not supported as a boot device, as stated in the HP-UX Virtual
Partitions Ordering and Configuration Guide, available at http://docs.hp.com.
