HP Serviceguard for Linux Version A.11.19 Release Notes, October 2009

Pre-Installation Checklist
• Before you begin installing Serviceguard, make sure that all components of the
cluster have been upgraded to their latest firmware versions.
• Serviceguard for Linux depends on the xinetd service. Make sure that the xinetd
rpm has been installed from the distribution source (for example, your Linux
installation CD) and is enabled.
To find out if xinetd is running, use a command such as:
ps -ef | grep xinetd
You should see output similar to the following:
root 3954 1 0 Jan17 ? 00:00:05 /usr/sbin/xinetd
root 15734 15513 0 13:38 pts/1 00:00:00 grep xinetd
If xinetd is not running, check that it is installed as follows:
rpm -qa xinetd
You can use the chkconfig command to enable xinetd if you need to:
/sbin/chkconfig --level 35 xinetd on
• On Red Hat systems, you must uninstall authd. Do the following:
rpm -e authd
• You may need to install additional software from the distribution, depending on
which Serviceguard components you are installing. The following lists all the
software you will need for each distribution if you install all the Serviceguard
components. You may want to install all of this software now, to make sure all
