6.3 Software prerequisites for HP Serviceguard for Linux
Following are the list of software prerequisites:
• HP recommends that you must upgrade all components of the cluster to the latest firmware
versions before you install HP Serviceguard.
• Serviceguard for Linux depends on the xinetd service. Ensure that the xinetd rpm is installed
from the distribution source (for example, your Linux installation DVD) and is enabled.
To check if the xinetd service is running:
#ps -ef | grep xinetd
To enable the xinetd service:
#/sbin/chkconfig --level 35 xinetd on
NOTE: On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, xinetd service does not run if no services are
configured. The xinetd service can be started with -stayalive option to ensure that it is
running even when no services are configured.
• Table 1 lists all the software that you need for each distribution before installing HP
Serviceguard for Linux Enterprise.
