Quorum Server Upgrade Required if You Are Using an Alternate Address
If you are using an Alternate Quorum Server Subnet (page 25), you must upgrade the
Quorum Server to version A.04.00 before you upgrade the cluster to Serviceguard
A.11.19.
CAUTION: If you fail to do this, the upgraded cluster will be running without a cluster
lock until you have upgraded the Quorum Server.
Serviceguard Manager Available from the System Management Homepage (SMH)
For details, see “About Serviceguard Manager” (page 19).
NOTE: The earlier, station-management (or standalone) version of Serviceguard
Manager (A.05.01) is obsolete. The last version of Serviceguard for Linux that supports
that product is A.11.16.
Cluster Name Restrictions
The following characters must not be used in the cluster name if you are using the
Quorum Server: at-sign (@), equal-sign (=), or-sign (|), semicolon (;).
These characters are deprecated, meaning that you should not use them even if you
are not using the Quorum Server.
