Serviceguard Extension for SAP Version A.06.00 Release Notes for Linux

Changed features
Modular-style HP SGeSAP/LX provides a superset of the functionality of legacy-style HP SGeSAP/LX
and is recommended to be used as its substitute. The modular-style HP SGeSAP/LX package logic
is a new implementation. It varies from the legacy-style package in the logging behavior and
functionality. Modular-style package has extended functionality compared to its legacy-style
equivalent.
The changes maintain compliance with SAP’s Netweaver 7.30 recommendations.
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.

Known problems and limitations
