Get MC/Serviceguard. Only HA clustering is
supported on L-class as of now.

You can also buy Veritas Cluster Server for HP-UX from Veritas.

I like MC/ServiceGuard.

The attached document tells you how to set it up. It's not straightforward.

hi,
as others told it is a licenced product.
you have to buy it.
the link points to a nice pdf document for installing configuring mcsg.

you can also refer to docs.hp.com for details.if you can get a copy of mcsg related ascii files you will be able to compare and study.

MC/ServiceGuard allows you to create high availability clusters of HP
9000 Series 800 computers. A high availability computer system
allows application services to continue in spite of a hardware or software
failure.Highly available systems protect users from software failures as
well as from failure of a system processing unit (SPU), disk, or local area
network (LAN) component. In the event that one component fails, the
redundant component takes over. MC/ServiceGuard and other high
availability subsystems coordinate the transfer between components.
