by the user, manual actions. The actions might include updates, software removals, or manual actions. Using
of the Software Assistant software tool can help efficiently improve system security but does not guarantee
system security.
Software Assistant performs the following functions:
▲ Generates a report of recommended security actions that are applicable and not installed or applied

HP Serviceguard Manager overview
HP Serviceguard Manager is a graphical user interface that provides configuration, status monitoring, and
administration of high availability clusters created by HP Serviceguard. The Serviceguard Manager
management station can be an HP-UX, Linux, or Windows system. Using Serviceguard Manager, you can
view the status of clusters on your network through color-coded icons. From this high-level perspective, you
can proactively manage specific clusters, nodes, and packages.
Serviceguard clusters are identified and associated through SNMP and provide a mechanism to view cluster
information by running HP Serviceguard Manager if it is registered with HP SIM.
NOTE: If you have systems that have both SNMP and WBEM Serviceguard cluster awareness agents
installed and you previously ran HP SIM 4.x, you must run discovery again for Serviceguard cluster information
to be obtained through WBEM.
You can access HP Serviceguard Manager through the following methods:
• From the system table view page, select a system that is an HP Serviceguard Cluster. HP SIM searches
the database for the first system that belongs to the cluster and Serviceguard Manager is launched with
that system.
• From the system table view page, click a container system that has a cluster member. The cluster member
is passed to Serviceguard Manager. You can also select the row that includes the container system and
launch Serviceguard Manager from the menu by selecting Tools→Integrated Consoles→HP
Serviceguard Manager.
• From the system table view page, click a cluster node. The cluster node is passed to Serviceguard
Manager. You can also select the row that includes the container system and then launch Serviceguard
Manager from the menu by selecting Tools→Integrated Consoles→HP Serviceguard Manager.
• Access the HP Ser viceguard Manager page by selecting Tools→Integrated Consoles→HP
Serviceguard Manager. The HP Ser viceguard Manager page appears.
