 Configuring Clusters with Serviceguard Manager
You can configure clusters and packages. You must have root (UID=0) access to the
cluster nodes.
Since Serviceguard A.11.17.01, Serviceguard Manager is available in two forms, a standalone
utility and the new SMH-based utility.
 Old: as an independent management application running on an HP-UX, Linux, or Windows
system. This utility is not used on current software.
 New: as a “plug-in” to the System Management Homepage (SMH).
SMH is a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that replaces SAM as the system
administration GUI as of HP-UX 11i v3 (but you can still run the SAM terminal)
Note: Future Development will be done for the “plug-in” version and no longer for the
independent management application.

– on a Unix or Linux management station, use the sgmgr command. You can enter the
options on the command line, or in a dialog box after the GUI opens. For command
