HP Serviceguard Manager is the graphical user interface (GUI) for HP
Serviceguard. With versions A.04.00 and the newly released A.04.02, you can
monitor, manage, and configure HP-UX Serviceguard clusters from HP-UX,
Windows, and Linux management stations.
Quorum Server version A.02.00 is one type of cluster lock. It acts as a tie-breaker in
cluster reformation. It resides outside the HP-UX cluster it serves, on either an
HP-UX or Linux server.
Versions A.11.15 and A.11.16 are supported on HP-UX 11i v2. Version A.11.16, initially
delivered in HP-UX 11i v2 September 2004, is the version delivered in the current
release of HP-UX 11i v2.
