ServiceGuard Version needed for HP-UX 11.0

[Rob van Eerd]

Within our Company I asked for upgrade prices.
We currently run:
- HP-UX 10.20
- MirrorDisk/UX B.10.20
- MC/ServiceGuard A.10.11
- HP-PB 100Base-T/9000 B.10.20.09
We must upgrade to HP-UX 11.0 due to:
1. Application requirements
2. Problems with our ServiceGuard environment.

I was told that we only need to upgrade HP-UX to 11.0 but that we can keep on using our current versions of MC/ServiceGuard and MirrorDisk/UX.

Can anyone tell me if this is true? I allways thought there was a dedicated version of ServiceGuard for HP-UX 11.0

Thanks for a quick reply (I'm in the middle of a budget-phase).

I think you need to upgrade MC/SG and MirrorDisk as well. We are using UX 11.0 in combination with MC/SG A.11.09, and MirrorDisk B.11.00.

Rob:

There is no fee associated with upgrading from 10.20 to 11.x when you have a support contract. Order the Core OS, ACE, Application CDs and Support Plus patches using your system handle. Go to Maintenance/Support -> Downloads/Licensing -> Software Update Manager to initiate the order.

You can obtain the most current verson of Ignite from the Web site below. For 11.x you want the "B" version.

provided you have a service contract, you should get automatic updates for the OS, and also MC/SG.

The current supported version of MC/SG is 11.09, with patches PHSS_22540
