Technical white paper | Migrating Symantec Veritas Cluster Server to HP Serviceguard for Linux

GUI (Serviceguard Manager)

Launch Serviceguard Manager from one of the node and go to the “Administration” menu and select “Run Cluster”.

Verify the SG/LX cluster

CLI

Execute the following command to view the status of the cluster. The status should be “up”.

GUI (Serviceguard Manager)

Launch Serviceguard Manager from one of the nodes and click on the cluster name to view the cluster status. The cluster

status should be “up”.

Create and configure the Serviceguard Apache toolkit

CLI

Please follow the following steps to create and configure Serviceguard Apache toolkit:

• Create Apache toolkit package directory.

– mkdir $SGCONF/pkg/Apache

• Change directory to the Apache toolkit package directory.

– cd $SGCONF/pkg/Apache

• Create the package configuration template using the cmmakepkg command and include appropriate modules required by

your application. In this illustration, we can use the tkit/apache module that is available through the SG/LX Contributed

Toolkit product.

– cmmakepkg -m tkit/apache/apache apache_package.conf

cmmakepkg command, by default, includes all the modules necessary to manage typical application resources like

filesystem, volume group, IP subnet, etc., in a package configuration file. In addition, you can select the application specific

modules that can start/stop/monitor applications. The application specific modules are available through corresponding

toolkit product. To get a list of modules installed in the cluster, use the cmmakepkg –l command. If you do not find an

appropriate module for your application buy or get the appropriate SG/LX toolkit for the application and install the same on

all nodes.

If there are no toolkits available for your application, you must write your own using SG/LX Developer’s Toolbox that is

freely downloadable from software.hp.com.

• Edit the package configuration file and configure the attributes using the VCS resource information and VCS agent

information collected at the step “Collect the resources information used by your VCS service group” in
