MC/ServiceGuard
Multi-Computer/ServiceGuard (MC/ServiceGuard) is a specialized facility for protecting
mission critical applications from a wide variety of hardware and software failures.
MC/ServiceGuard is used to create high-availability clusters of HP servers. Computer
systems with high-availability clusters allow applications to continue in spite of a
hardware or software failure. Such systems protect users from software failures as well
as from failure of a system processing unit (SPU) or local area network (LAN)
component. In the event that one component fails, the redundant component takes over
and MC/ServiceGuard coordinates the transfer between components.
NOTE When you purchase the Mission Critical OE, it is assumed that you want
MC/ServiceGuard, not ServiceGuard OPS Edition. MC/ServiceGuard and ServiceGuard
OPS Edition cannot coexist on the same system. Users 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.11.14 Release Notes Second Edition (B5161-90048).
