Serviceguard Extension for RAC Version A.11.19 Release Notes, March 2009

subnets monitored using these individual parameters. While the failure of subnets monitored
using SUBNET package configuration parameter is handled by halting the instance of the package
on the node where the subnet has failed, the failure of subnets monitored using
CLUSTER_INTERCONNECT_SUBNET package configuration parameter is handled by ensuring
at least one instance of the package remains running in the cluster.
NOTE: A package with the CLUSTER_INTERCONNECT_SUBNET parameter is available for both
Modular and Legacy packages. A package with this parameter can be configured only when all
nodes of the cluster are running SGeRAC version A.11.18 or higher.

Support for Veritas CFS and CVM Version 5.0
SGeRAC A.11.19 on HP-UX 11i v2 and 11i v3 supports Veritas VxVM, CVM and CFS 5.0 from
Symantec.
NOTE: For the most up-to-date information, see the HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite
Version A.02.01 for HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes at http://docs.hp.com -> High Availability ->
HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite.
Serviceguard NFS Toolkit supports CFS 5.0. See the white paper Serviceguard NFS Toolkit Support
for CFS at http://docs.hp.com-> High Availability -> Highly Available NFS -> White Papers.
SGeRAC ships the system multi-node package SG-CFS-pkg for CVM/CFS. The older system
multi-node package, VxVM-CVM-pkg, is used only for Veritas Cluster Volume Manager 3.5.
As of SGeRAC version A.11.19, only two multi-node packages are supported for managing
CVM/CFS: the mount point package, SG-CFS-MP-ID#, and the disk group package,
SG-CFS-DG-ID#. Both are shipped with Serviceguard.
Like system multi-node packages, multi-node packages do not fail over, and can run on more
than one node at a time. Unlike system multi-node packages, they do not have to run on every
active node in the cluster, but can be configured to run on specific nodes.
Multi-node packages function for CFS in much the same way as the STORAGE_GROUP parameter
functions for CVM. They allow an application package to build a dependency on another package,
such as a dependency on a cluster file system package or disk group package.
CFS packages use a new parameter set, added to the package configuration file, that you can use
to create dependencies. This parameter ensures that a package will not start on a node unless
the package it depends on is up and running on that node.
For more information on Serviceguard and CFS see the Serviceguard Version A.11.19 Release Notes
at http://docs.hp.com -> High Availability -> Serviceguard -> Release Notes.
NOTE: When using CFS for RAC single instance Oracle is not supported if instance startup
and shutdown is outside of Serviceguard package control.
Support for Oracle 9iR2 RAC on SLVM, CFS and CVM
SGeRAC on HP-UX 11i v2 supports Oracle 9iR2 RAC on SLVM, CFS 5.0 and CVM 5.0 with
Serviceguard A.11.19.
Support for Oracle 10gR2 RAC on SLVM, ASM, CFS and CVM
SGeRAC on HP-UX 11i v2 supports Oracle 10gR2 RAC on SLVM, ASM over SLVM, CFS 5.0 and
CVM 5.0 with Serviceguard A.11.19.
