of ServiceGuard OPS Edition are encouraged to purchase and install the
Enterprise OE and then install ServiceGuard OPS Edition. For detailed
installation information, see the ServiceGuard OPS Edition Version
A.11.09 Release Notes for HP-UX 11i (B5161-90028).
This release of MC/ServiceGuard is for use with HP-UX 11.0 and HP-UX
11i, and has all the features found in earlier versions in addition to new
functionality, defect repairs and support for new hardware
configurations.
Auto-port aggregation is fully supported with 100BaseT network
interface cards. The contents of MC/ServiceGuard releases A.11.01
through A.11.08 have been incorporated, including all A.11.08 patches.
New diagnostic error messages are written to the syslog file
(/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log) when an attempt to obtain the cluster
lock fails. Internal error codes are returned to facilitate troubleshooting.
MC/ServiceGuard supports the online replacement of network and I/O
interface cards that is allowed by the HP-UX 11i Operating
Environments.
Impact
Disk space required for MC/ServiceGuard is 36MB. The memory
required is 6MB plus 700KB per package in the cluster plus 300KB per
EMS resource in the cluster. This total amount is required on all cluster
nodes, regardless of whether a given package or resource is on that node
or not.
The Event Monitoring Service (EMS-CORE) file set is no longer included
as part of the MC/ServiceGuard product, even thought EMS (B7609BA)
is still a dependency and must be installed with MC/ServiceGuard.
