HP Serviceguard for Linux Advanced Version 12.00.00 Release Notes, May 2014

• Ensure that PERL is installed on all the systems where you intend to install Serviceguard using
the cmeasyinstall tool.
• Ensure that YUM (Yellowdog Updater Modified) update service on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Server or Zypper on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is configured if you intend to use the -a
option.
NOTE: The cmeasyinstall tool does not install HP Serviceguard Extension for SAP (SGeSAP)
A.06.00.20 automatically from the ISO or DVD. You must install SGeSAP manually using rpm
-ivh command. If you are already running SGeSAP A.06.00.20, then it is not required to install
the product.
Also, the cmeasyinstall tool does not install Quorum Server.
The cmeasyinstall tool has the following advantages:
• Checks for dependencies and prompts you to install the required software or packages, if not
already installed.
• Streamlines the installation of the several rpm packages that are included on the DVD or ISO
image.
• Reduces the installation from many commands to one command to invoke the tool.
• Takes the list of nodes that are expected to be part of the cluster and installs the software on
all the nodes.
The cmeasyinstall tool prompts for the directory path where the HP Serviceguard for Linux
DVD or ISO image is mounted. It checks for Linux packages that are required as prerequisites for
HP Serviceguard for Linux and its components. For more information about software prerequisites,
see “Software prerequisites for HP Serviceguard for Linux”. If not already installed, you will be
prompted to install these packages for the installation to complete successfully.
To run the cmeasyinstall tool:
1. Mount the HP Serviceguard for Linux DVD or ISO image.
2. Open a terminal window to the server from the console or an ssh client.
3. Execute the cmeasyinstall command with appropriate qualifiers. For more information
about the command usage and qualifiers, see the read me available at /<DVD_mount_dir>/
README_cmeasyinstall.txt.
The cmeasyinstall tool installs the RPMs in the following order:
• serviceguard-license
• serviceguard
• serviceguard-snmp
• serviceguard-providers
• serviceguard-analytics
• serviceguard-manager
• serviceguard-sybase-toolkit
• serviceguard-oracle-tollkit
• serviceguard-ppas-toolkit
While installing serviceguard-snmp, the following error message might be displayed due to
the xinetd service not started:
