Serviceguard Extension for SAP Version A.06.00 for Linux Release Notes, December 2012

Legacy-style packages created with HP SGeSAP/LX A.03.00 continue to operate after upgrade
to HP SGeSAP/LX A.6.00. However, new packages must be created as modular-style packages
and the existing packages have to be replaced by modular-style packages as soon as possible.
Deprecated or obsolete features
The HP Solutions product suite including HP SGeSAP/LX will discontinue legacy packaging support
with a future version roll. The deploysappkgs(1) tool can be used to create modular-style
package configuration files for existing HP SGeSAP/LX A.03.00 legacy clusters. The command
can be used in place of a formal SGeSAP package migration tool for the mandatory software
cluster components.
SGeSAP Livecache and SAP infrastructure package functionality needs to be manually recreated
in modular style using the guided package creation or the package edit dialog screens of HP
Serviceguard Manager.
