Serviceguard Manager is the graphical user interface for Serviceguard. It
is available as a “plug-in” to the System Management
Homepage (SMH). SMH is a web-based graphical user interface (GUI)
that replaces SAM as the system administration GUI as of HP-UX 11i
v3 (but you can still run the SAM terminal interface; see “Using
SAM”).
You can use Serviceguard Manager to monitor, administer, and configure
Serviceguard clusters.
Monitor: you can see properties, status,
and alerts of clusters, nodes, and packages.
Administer: you can do administrative tasks such
as run or halt clusters, cluster nodes, and packages.
Configure: you can create or modify a cluster and
its packages (for restrictions, see “Configuring
Clusters with Serviceguard Manager”).
See the latest Release Notes for your version of Serviceguard
for an introduction to using Serviceguard Manager.
Check the Serviceguard, SGeRAC, and SMS Compatibility
and Feature Matrix and the latest Release Notes for
your version of Serviceguard for up-to-date information about Serviceguard
Manager compatibility (http://www.docs.hp.com -> High Availability -> Serviceguard).
Monitoring
Clusters with Serviceguard Manager |
|
From the main page of Serviceguard Manager, you can see status
and alerts for the cluster, nodes, and packages. You can also drill
down to see the configuration and alerts of the cluster, nodes,
and packages.
Administering
Clusters with Serviceguard Manager |
|
Serviceguard Manager allows you administer clusters, nodes,
and packages if access control policies permit:
Package: halt, run, move from one node to another,
reset node- and package-switching flags
Starting
Serviceguard Manager |
|
To start the Serviceguard Manager plug-in in your web browser
from the System Management Homepage, click on the link to Serviceguard Cluster or a particular cluster. 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.
