3 Step-by-Step Cluster
Conversion
This chapter describes in detail how to implement a SAP cluster using
Serviceguard and Serviceguard Extension for SAP (Serviceguard
Extension for SAP on Linux). It is written in the format of a step-by-step
guide. It gives examples for each task in great detail. Actual
implementations might require a slightly different approach. Many steps
synchronize cluster host configurations or virtualized SAP instances
manually. If these tasks are already covered by different means, it might
be sufficient to quickly check that the requested result is already
achieved. For example, if the SAP application component was already
installed using a virtual IP address, many steps from the SAP WAS
configuration section can be omitted.
