1) you have to buy s/w from HP

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/solutions/enterprise/highavailability/linux/serviceguard/index.html

2) RH 7.3 and RHEL 2.1

3) you'll receive "Getting Started with HP SG for Linux"

But (IMHO, from my experience) HP SG (at least its current version) isn't good product because

- they asks to recompile kernel in order to apply LVM and other patches; these patches don't work for kernel from RHEL update 2, for example.

- it works only with Proliant servers

Did you check RHEL Cluster Manager?

Vitaly

I afraid toolkits will not help because ti's just scripts and not HP SG itself...

HP Serviceguard for Linux ProLiant Cluster is commercial software and not available for free download.

These resources (the toolkits & doc-file) can help You understand how to make Your cluster.

There are currently two versions of ServiceGuard for Linux, one to run on the HP Netservers, and the other to run on the Proliant servers.
There are specific supported models and interfaces.
A new release will be available later this year for the Integrity IPF systems running SuSE 8/United Linux 1.0

Go to http://h18022.www1.hp.com/solutions/enterprise/highavailability/linux/serviceguard/index.html
to have a look

Serviceguard for Linux — Tue, 17 Feb 2004 09:57:46 GMT

The current version(s) for serviceguard suports SuSE SLES8 (United Linux) as well as RedHat 2.1. The RedHat version requires rebuilding the Kernel to get LVM support. That was not true for RedHat 7.3 and it is not required for SuSE/UL.

RedHat does not support 7.3 any more so it is NOT recommended to use this anymore.

Support of RedHat 3 will be available soon and will not require Kernel recompoile since it does include LVM support.

Product numbers for Serviceguard are:
305199-B22 (RedHat 2.1) or 305199-B23 (SuSE/UL) for ProLiant 2 licenses

307754-B22 (RedHat 2.1), 307754-B23 (SuSE/UL) and B9903BA (SuSE/UL) for ProLiant 1 license

T2391AA (SuSE/UL) for Integrity 1 license

ProLiant versions are licensed per Server
Integrity version is licensed per processor
