Serviceguard Manager Version A.04.02 Release Notes
Installing and Running Serviceguard Manager
Chapter 128
• Adds a menu item and a button on the toolbar of NNM or OVO to
start Serviceguard Manager (“Serviceguard Mgr Launcher”).
• Sends Serviceguard events to be logged in the Event Log. The
Serviceguard subagent is responsible for notifying the management
station when status or configuration changes. By default, it is
installed in /usr/lbin/cmsnmpd.
• Adds Serviceguard messages to the OVO Message Browser if
assigned, and in the NNM Alarm Browser.
• Modifies the Event Configuration Tool so you can set up automatic
actions and filter Serviceguard messages.
• Lets you configure the data collection to get historical MIB data from
network nodes, including data stored in Serviceguard MIB objects.
The Serviceguard subagent services the Serviceguard MIB objects.
By default, it is installed in /usr/lbin/cmsnmpd.
Then the installation process looks to see if you have OVO Version 7 or
later, or VPO 6.0 or later. If you do, it checks to see if you also have
ClusterView.
If you do have ClusterView installed, no files will be overwritten. The
launcher will be installed, so you can open an instance of Serviceguard
Manager from the OpenView menu.
If you do not have ClusterView, but you do have OVO, tools are added to
the Tool Bank, ready for an OpenView administrator to assign them.
These tools are listed below.
Assign these tools carefully. Some require root access to the
Serviceguard nodes, and some can grant it indirectly.
• Serviceguard Mgr launcher: You can launch Serviceguard Manager
from OpenView. Serviceguard Manager is independent of OpenView.
It does not use the OV daemons or object database to discover the
configuration or status of clusters. Instead, it gets information by
connecting to Serviceguard Version A.11.13 or greater; then
Serviceguard goes out on its subnets and gathers the information.
• Installs these Tools to work on a selected cluster node:
— HA Info Tools:
— Query Cluster Conf: uses cmquerycl to gather configuration
information
