Serviceguard Cluster and Package configuration using Serviceguard
Manager
Starting with HP Serviceguard Manager B.03.20, available in Serviceguard A.11.20, the following
Serviceguard Manager operations are supported in a Metrocluster with 3PAR Remote Copy
environment:
• Configuring, monitoring, and administration of Metrocluster modular packages.
• Configuring, monitoring, and administration of site aware Metrocluster.
Starting with PHSS_43094, Serviceguard Manager support configuring Metrocluster packages
with Remote Copy Volume groups that use asynchronous periodic mode replication.
However, the following is the restriction with Serviceguard Manager in a Metrocluster with 3PAR
Remote Copy environment:
The Metrocluster package configuration requires a system administrator to configure data replication,
which is not supported by the Serviceguard Manager. This step needs to be performed by the
administrator outside of HP Serviceguard Manager.
