HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite A.03.02 Release Notes (March 2012)

New features available in Serviceguard:
• Easy Migration from Legacy Packages to Modular Packages: In this enhancement, Serviceguard
introduces a new command, cmeasymigrate.
This command can be used to convert Serviceguard legacy toolkit packages to modular
packages. Using this command you can also migrate or consolidate multiple legacy or modular
CFS packages into a single modular package.
For details, see the cmeasymigrate(1m) man page and the white paper “Migrating Packages
from Legacy Style to Modular Style” available at http://www.hp.com/go/

• New commands (and equivalent capabilities on Serviceguard Manager) provide a quick and
easy way to configure and deploy a Serviceguard cluster.
• New Serviceguard Manager capabilities.
• The new Live Application Detach (LAD) capability in Serviceguard allows a package's
applications to remain running (unmonitored) while you do maintenance on the node or cluster
on which the package is running.
NOTE: This capability is supported with modular packages in SG SMS bundles T2771DB,
T2773DB, and T2774DB only - it is not supported with legacy packages, CVM, CFS or
SGeRAC. For more information, see Managing Serviceguard Eighteenth Edition at:
www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs → HP Serviceguard
• A new type of device file allows you to deploy a set of persistent device special files that is
consistent across the cluster, eliminating to risk of name-space collisions amongst the cluster
nodes. These new device special files are called cluster device special files or cDSFs.
NOTE: cDSFs can not be used in VxVM or CVM disk groups.
