Metrocluster with Continuous Access XP Version A.11.00 Release Notes, August 2010 (B8109-90027)

Serviceguard Cluster and Package Configuration Via Serviceguard Manager
or System Management Homepage
Starting with HP Serviceguard Manager B.03.00, available in Serviceguard A.11.20, the
following Serviceguard Manager operations are supported in a Metrocluster
environment:
• Configuration, monitoring , and administration of Metrocluster modular packages.
• Monitoring and administration of site aware clusters.
However, the following restrictions apply:
• A Metrocluster package configuration requires a system administrator to configure
data replication, which is not supported by Serviceguard Manager. This step needs
to be performed by the administrator outside of HP Serviceguard Manager.
• The configuration of a site-aware Metrocluster is not supported by HP Serviceguard
Manager B.03.00.
