What’s in this Version
The A.11.17 version of Serviceguard Extension for RAC is a release that
supports the use of the HP-UX 11i v2 operating system. SGeRAC version
A.11.17 permits a maximum of 16 HP 9000 or HP Integrity servers
configured as a high availability cluster. Multiple Oracle databases on
the same node are supported.
Starting with version A.11.15, SGeRAC is decoupled from Serviceguard.
Therefore, Serviceguard version A.11.17 must be installed as a
prerequisite product for SGeRAC version A.11.17. The features of
Serviceguard version A.11.17 are supported with the same limitations
being applied.
In addition, SGeRAC version A.11.17 can be installed on top of HP-UX
Mission Critical Operating Environment (MCOE). It is not necessary to
uninstall Serviceguard filesets before installing SGeRAC.
If the version of Serviceguard in the Mission Critical Operating
Environment is not A.11.17, you must first upgrade to Serviceguard
version A.11.17. For upgrade information, refer to the Serviceguard
Version A.11.17 Release Notes.
