HP Serviceguard for Linux Version A.11.19 Release Notes, April 2009

Considerations when Installing Serviceguard
When you install Serviceguard for the first time on a node, the node is not yet part of
a cluster, and so there is no Access Control Policy. For instructions on how to proceed,
see the subsection “Allowing Root Access to an Unconfigured Node” under
“Configuring Root-Level Access” in Chapter 5 of the Managing Serviceguard for Linux
manual.
What’s Not in this Release
• Serviceguard A.11.19 does not support Red Hat 4.
The last version that did was A.11.18. Serviceguard A.11.19 does support Red Hat
5 and SUSE SLES 10.
• The cmresmond daemon is no longer used for disk monitoring.
Disk monitoring is now managed by cmresserviced, which has a new option,
[-t, --poll-interval <seconds>]
See “Creating a Disk Monitor Configuration” in Chapter 6 of Managing Serviceguard
for Linux for more information.
