Installing and Running Serviceguard
Manager
Installing Software
You can install Serviceguard Manager on an HP-UX workstation, on an
HP-UX server (with or without Serviceguard), on a Linux workstation
(with or without Serviceguard), or on a PC with Windows XP
Professional Edition or Windows 2000 Professional.
If a previous version of Serviceguard Manager is already installed, stop
any instances of Serviceguard Manager running on a node before
installing the new version there. See information about uninstalling
below.
Before Installing Serviceguard Manager
When deciding where to install Serviceguard Manager, consider the
connections from users to the Session Server node, the connection from
the Session Server to cluster nodes, and creating the security you want.
Which operators will use the interface, and which capabilities do you
want them to have? Which management stations will they sit at, and
which computer will they log into to begin a Serviceguard session? See
the table “Capabilities of Session Servers on Target clusters” on page 16
for help in planning this. Serviceguard version 11.16 has a new way to
setting up access.
Installing Software
You can install Serviceguard Manager on three platforms: HP-UX,
Linux, or Windows. The methods are slightly different for each. Use the
section below that is appropriate for your type of installation.
There are two ways to install Serviceguard Manager: from the HP
Serviceguard Distributed Components disk, or from this web site:
http://www.software.hp.com. You can choose the English, Japanese,
Korean, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese version.
Serviceguard Manager installs its own JRE (Java Runtime
Environment™), and can not use any other JRE that may already be
installed.
