Using Serviceguard Manager to Configure a
Package
To configure a high availability package use the following steps on the
configuration node (ftsys9). Serviceguard Manager configuration is
available in Serviceguard Version A.11.16 and later.
1. Connect to a session server node that has Serviceguard version
A.11.16 installed. Discover a cluster that has version A.11.16 or later.
To begin configuration, you will be prompted to enter the root
password for a node in the target cluster.
2. To create a package, select the cluster on the map or tree. From the
Actions menu, choose Configuration -> Create Package. To modify,
select the package itself and choose Configuration -> Modify Package
<pkgname>.
3. Creating the Package Configuration and its Control Script: The
interface will guide you through the steps. Online Help is available
along the way. You can follow the suggestions below about
configuring in stages, because many steps do not have to be done in
sequence. The control script can be created automatically if you
want.
4. Verifying the Package Configuration: Click the Check button. If you
don’t see the log window, open one from the View menu.
5. Distributing the Configuration: Click Apply. The binary
configuration file will be created, then it and the generated control
script will be distributed to the package’s nodes. If you want, you can
configure your control script yourself. This may be necessary if you
do not use a standard control script. However, once you edit a control
script yourself, Serviceguard Manager will never be able to see or
modify it again. If you choose to edit the control script, you must also
distribute it yourself.
