Serviceguard Manager is the graphical user interface for Serviceguard
product. With it, you can monitor, administer, and configure clusters
managed by Serviceguard, Serviceguard Extension for RAC,
Metrocluster, Continentalclusters, and Serviceguard Extension for
Faster Failover.
Serviceguard Manager replaces ClusterView and the SAM High
Availability tool. It can be launched independently, from HP Systems
Insight Manager, or from OpenView.
You install Serviceguard Manager on a management station, which can
be any computer running HP-UX, Linux, or Windows. From there, you
connect to a node with Serviceguard version A.11.13 or later. This node
becomes your Session Server; it will go out on its subnets and query for
information about Serviceguard objects. You can see the discovered
clusters, nodes, and packages in your session on the tree and map, and
more information in Properties and Alerts.
You can also do administrative commands through the interface, if the
Session Server and target clusters are running Serviceguard version
A.11.14 or later. The administrative actions are:
• Run or halt a cluster, node, or package
• Move a package to a new node
• Change package- and node-switching flags
You can also create and modify Serviceguard configuration of clusters
and packages if the target node or cluster has Serviceguard A.11.16 or
later installed.
An icon on the toolbar warns you about new problems, whether the
Serviceguard object is in your current view or not. High-availability
alerts are posted when Serviceguard Manager polls. The Alerts window
has aids for analyzing the problems.
If your HP-UX cluster nodes are configured for SNMP, you can receive
their SNMP cluster trap messages in the SNMP Browser window. You
can set your management station as a trap destination from a tab in the
window. Messages can be sorted and re-organized.
