Managing HP Serviceguard for Linux Ninth Edition, April 2009

Administering Clusters with Serviceguard Manager
You can administer clusters, nodes, and packages if access control policies permit:
• Cluster: halt, run
• Cluster nodes: halt, run
• Package: halt, run, move from one node to another, reset node- and
package-switching flags
Configuring Clusters with Serviceguard Manager
You can configure clusters and packages in Serviceguard Manager. You must have
root (UID=0) access to the cluster nodes.
Starting Serviceguard Manager
Follow the directions in the Release Notes for your version of Serviceguard for Linux
to start the Serviceguard Manager. Then select a cluster, node, or package, and use the
drop-down menus below the “Serviceguard Manager” banner to navigate to the task
you need to do.
Use Serviceguard Manager’s built-in help to guide you through the tasks; this manual
will tell you if a task can be done in Serviceguard Manager but does not duplicate the
help.
Configuration Roadmap
This manual presents the tasks you need to perform in order to create a functioning
HA cluster using Serviceguard. These tasks are shown in Figure 1-3.
