Serviceguard for Linux Version A.11.16 Release Notes
Compatibility Information and Installation Requirements
Chapter 128
Installing Serviceguard Manager
The Serviceguard Manager software is supplied on the separate HP
Serviceguard Distributed Components CD. This CD includes versions for
HP-UX, Linux, and Windows operating systems. Updated versions may
be available from http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot. Click on
high availability to locate the latest version.
See the Serviceguard Manager Version A.05.00 Release Notes at
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/ha for instructions on installing the Linux
version. Information on using Serviceguard Manager is in the online
help and in Managing HP Serviceguard for Linux.
Setting Permissions on the /root/.rhosts File
The /root/.rhosts file must not allow write access by group or other.
If /root/.rhosts file write permission is enabled for other or group,
HP Serviceguard for Linux commands will fail, logging a “Permission
denied for user” message. This situation can arise when the Serviceguard
remote security file, $SGCONF/cmclnodelist, is not used and remote
node security is resolved with the .rhosts facility.
NOTE /etc/cmcluster.conf contains the mappings that resolve the symbolic
references to $SGCONF, $SGROOT, etc., used in these Release Notes. See
“Understanding the Location of Serviceguard Files” in chapter 5 of the
Managing Serviceguard for Linux manual for details.
